INICIAR SESIÓNAmelia Rose Vale has always been ordinary. Careful. Quiet. Human. Then an impossible letter arrives at her door, accepting her into Waycross Academy—a school she never applied to and cannot find on any map. By dusk the next day, Amelia steps through its gates and into a world where corridors shift without warning, rules are enforced but never explained, and every student around her is something other than human. At Waycross, Amelia is not just unusual. She is impossible. Her presence draws the attention of seven powerful men: a cryptic cat shifter who appears where he should not be, a dragon shifter who looks at her like he has waited years to find her, a restless fae bound by secrets and time, a demon whose calm hides dangerous hunger, a chaotic vampire who knows too much, an ancient guardian who teaches her how to survive, and a controlled mage mentor determined to keep his distance. Each of them recognizes something in Amelia that she cannot see in herself. As her strange power begins to wake, Amelia discovers her family name buried in forbidden records, and her supposed humanity becomes harder to believe. But being noticed at Waycross is dangerous. A jealous incubus queen wants her broken, hidden enemies are watching from beyond the Academy walls, and the school itself seems to be pushing her toward a truth no one will fully explain. Amelia thought she was falling into a nightmare. But Waycross did not choose her by mistake. And the monsters circling her may not be her downfall. They may be the first ones to kneel.
Ver másBy the time Amelia reached her next training block, she had decided there were worse things than being late.Being expected was one of them.That was the feeling waiting for her when she entered the lower practice hall: expectation. Not from the students, though several looked up when she stepped inside. Not from the stone walls, though they were lined with symbols that seemed to dim and brighten as her eyes moved over them.From the room itself.It felt aware.The lower practice hall was carved beneath Waycross, deep enough that Amelia could feel the weight of the Academy above her. The ceiling arched high overhead, supported by black columns veined with silver. Circles were etched into the floor at carefully spaced intervals, each marked with a different symbol. Some glowed faintly. Some were dull and dark. One near the far wall looked scorched.No one stood in that one.Amelia made a note of it.The students were already gathered in loose lines. Most wore their uniforms with minor
The word stayed on the wall longer than Amelia wanted it to.Soon.It had been written beneath the crossing-paths symbol in fresh black ink, each letter narrow and deliberate. Not scratched. Not burned. Written. As if someone had stood in the residence hall after the tea room vanished and calmly left her a message.Amelia stared at it until the ink began to gleam.Then it moved.Not much.Just enough for the final letter to stretch downward, thinning into a dark line that looked disturbingly like a drip.She stepped back.The wall went blank.Of course it did.By morning, Amelia had almost convinced herself she had imagined it.Almost.The problem with Waycross was that imagination had started to feel like the least reliable explanation.Her placement slate waited on the desk beside her untouched breakfast, which had appeared sometime before dawn on a small tray by the door. She had not eaten the pale red fruit or the glossy black roll. She had taken two cautious bites of the eggs onl
By the end of the day, Amelia had learned three important things.First, Waycross Academy considered explanations optional.Second, mirrors could knock.Third, there were apparently several different ways for a stranger’s touch to stay beneath her skin.Kai’s had lingered like a secret at her pulse.Draven was like banked fire.Rowan’s like a bright thread looped around her wrist, quick and impossible to ignore.Amelia hated that she could tell the difference.She hated that more than part of her kept noticing.After her final session, she made it halfway back to the residence wing before the hallway changed its mind.Again.One moment, she was following a group of students through a vaulted corridor that smelled of rain and candle smoke. The next, the students were gone, the walls had narrowed, and the air tasted faintly of honeyed steam.Amelia stopped.“No,” she said aloud.The corridor did not apologize.It continued ahead in a long, dim line, lit by lanterns made of colored glass
Amelia was 12 minutes late to Foundations of Species Law.The placement slate told her so three times.First in the corridor, with the dry accusation of ink changing beneath her thumb.Then again, at the entrance to the session chamber, the words YOU ARE LATE appeared across the slate in bold black letters.And finally, as she slipped into the only open seat near the back, the page warmed against her palm and added:Noted.Amelia stared at the word.Wonderful.Even the paper was disappointed in her.The chamber was not a classroom. At least, not in any familiar way. It looked more like a small courtroom that had been softened just enough to pretend it was academic. Curved rows of dark benches surrounded a central floor marked with circles, lines, and symbols set into the stone. No podium stood at the front. No chalkboard. No neat rows of desks.Instead, a woman in a dark green coat walked slowly around the center circle while speaking to the room.She did not pause when Amelia entered
