At Thornwatch Academy, Wren Ashcombe bleeds for survival, honing her blade against fellow trainees to escape a deadly fate on the border. But when a perimeter breach shatters the pre-dawn calm, revealing a monstrous Hollow, Wren finds herself fighting not just for her life, but alongside Sable Vane, the infuriatingly reckless Kindred heir she's spent years trying to ignore. As they face down a creature of nightmare, their undeniable connection sparks amidst the chaos, forcing Wren to confront feelings that have no place in a world built on duty and death. With a chilling discovery that someone opened the gates for the monster, Wren and Sable are thrust into a dangerous alliance. Can their forbidden bond survive the academy's dark secrets, or will the truth behind the breach tear them, and their world, apart?
