The Bloodbound Academy

"Every student at Ravenhurst generates magic. She devours it."

Aurelia Veyne arrived at the elite, storm-shrouded gates of Ravenhurst Academy with three sets of clothes, a fake identity, and a secret that could get her executed on sight: she doesn't possess ordinary magic. Her core is a bottomless void that hungers for, and consumes, the spells of other supernaturals. To survive among the cutthroat heirs of ancient bloodlines, she only has one rule: keep her head down and never let her power slip. Then she crosses paths with Kael Draven. Arrogant, lethal, and devastatingly calm, Kael is the undisputed shadow prince of the academy, feared by the entire student body and hiding a monstrous, life-draining dark power he has spent a decade starving inside his own chest. Everyone cowers in his presence. Aurelia only laughs at his brooding. When a rogue magical duel forces their powers to collide, they don't destroy each other, their magic binds. A glowing, ancient blood-mark brands their wrists, linking their heartbeats, their thoughts, and their darkest nightmares. Now tied to her greatest rival, Aurelia must navigate a lethal labyrinth of highborn betrayals, memory thieves, and an ancient cult operating inside the castle walls. Because the forgotten prison beneath Ravenhurst is cracking open, and the entity locked inside doesn't want the world. It wants her.
