The opening of a villain-academy saga where cruelty is the curriculum and power is the only currency. Ruthless heirs, dark magic, and a heroine forced to survive among predators set the stage for a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers descent. Readers who love ruthless antiheroes, simmering rivalry, and a paranormal academy soaked in menace will find an addictive hook here. Atmospheric, dangerous, and built for binge-reading the whole series.
