I start to see flashes of a ginger hair in a crowd, a shadow lurking outside my window, a presence that never leaves. I told myself I was imagining it. Until the night i followed that feeling into a club.. and watched my stalker stab, behead and murder something that looks human but isn’t. Now my mother is gone. My world starts to fall apart.

At the center of it all is Zane Mystralyn. He’s lethal, possessive and obsessed with keeping her safe. He was raised as a ruthless demon hunter, he was taught to hunt, to kill, to feel nothing.

Seraphine Vale is betrayed on her twentieth birthday, not celebrated. Drugged and abandoned by the family that despises her, she awakens in a luxury hotel suite beside Lucian Ardent, a powerful and untouchable billionaire feared across elite society.

Seraphine did not return for forgiveness but for the truth and revenge.

“Alastair, whatever human you choose from that building will be nothing more than bait. Surely, Caris is too far gone to understand that this child is more than something to satiate her hunger! Are you willing to risk that for her-” “A human?” I impatiently took a step towards Toran, restraining myself from grabbing him up by the collar. “Yes! I will gladly risk a human’s life!” I exclaimed my words bordering on desperation. “Whether it be a child or an infant. If it brings Caris back! If..if the baby can keep her sane for but a moment long enough for me to get through to her, then I will do whatever it takes.” I hadn’t realized how sure I was about this plan until I said it out loud to Toran. Sure, it was a cruel plan, but I was bordering on desperation at this point. Valene was an infant when she was adopted from the Caring Arms Orphanage by the Alpha of Shadow Veil, Alastair Wade.

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.
