The Beast Beneath Ashveil

Tamsin Ashgrove is a scholarship girl who survives by being useful, never by being wanted. When the headmistress offers to erase her debts, she takes the deal: translate a secret treaty in the sealed vaults beneath the school, and tell no one. But something is chained in the dark behind the iron grate. It speaks her name. It begs her to stay away. One drop of her blood changes everything. A glowing Mark burns into her palm, and it answers to one person: Caelan Draymoor, the cold, brilliant rival who has never said a kind word to her. Now the headmistress is smiling, the Order of the Veil is watching, and Tamsin is starting to suspect that her first spark of desire was never her own choice. Can she still choose freely when the magic, the school and the Beast beneath it all want her to surrender?
