For nineteen years, I believed I was just a fragile human adopted by a werewolf pack. I kept my head down, learned to fight, and prayed I could survive three years at Viremont Academy, the brutal training ground for the supernatural elite. But the day I arrived, I broke their world. When I touched the ancient ranking crystal, it didn’t just reject me. It shattered. And the system flashed a single, terrifying word: UNKNOWN. Suddenly, I’m the obsession of the four most dangerous heirs in the academy. Darian, my fiercely possessive childhood werewolf friend who now looks at me with a dark new hunger. Zayden, a ruthless dragon prince whose royal blood instinctively bows to my presence. Lucius, a morally grey warlock holding all the forbidden secrets. And Jarek, an untamed saber-tooth shifter driven by a terrifying, primal need to claim me. They despise each other. They refuse to share. But they are inexplicably, dangerously drawn to me. They think I’m just a glitch in the system. A mystery to be unraveled or a prize to be won. But there’s a reason my blood makes their ancient magic sing. There’s a reason the shadows in this academy are watching my every move. I am not human. I am not a wolf. I’m something much older, and much deadlier. They say the magic sealed inside me will either unite this world or burn it to the ground. If these four lethal men don't stop fighting over me... I might just let it burn.
