Jasmine has spent her entire life being shuffled between boarding schools, a pawn in a game her parents refuse to explain. But Blackwood Academy is different. Behind its gothic stone walls and elite facade, shadows move with a life of their own, and the predatory Headmaster Morgaunt watches her every move with a hunger that isn't just academic. Then there is Valerius Vesper. Cold, silver-eyed, and dangerous, he is the scion of a disgraced house tasked with hunting her down. He should be her executioner, yet every cruel encounter between them sparks a forbidden, addictive tension that threatens to consume them both. As Jasmine’s dormant violet-eyed magic begins to stir, the truth of her royal lineage emerges from the fog of her forgotten past. She isn't just an orphan; she is a queen in exile, and the power running through her veins is the key to an ancient war. Caught between a headmaster seeking immortality and a rival family wanting a puppet, Jasmine must master her blood magic before she is broken. In a world of shifting walls and lethal betrayal, the only thing more dangerous than her enemies is the heart she’s beginning to lose to the man sent to destroy her.
