When Seraphine is kidnapped and forced to attend a mysterious academy for immortal beings, she discovers she's trapped in a world where humans are despised—and she's the only one of her kind. Stuck with a curriculum of magic and powers she never asked to learn, her only escape route is passing classes designed to make her fail. Enter Dane Dalton, the infuriatingly attractive Shadow Prince who seems to hate her existence, yet keeps showing up in ways that suggest there's far more to their dynamic than pure animosity. With secrets lurking around every shadowy corner and a curse waiting to upend everything, Seraphine will have to navigate enemies, unexpected allies, and a connection she never saw coming to survive this immortal nightmare.
Reading soundtrack
Dark, sensual intensity meets forbidden desire. Gothic industrial beats, haunting vocals, and atmospheric tension. Think Halestorm, Stitched Up Heart, and synth-driven darkwave. Building passion through shadowed corridors—dangerous attraction, defiant energy, scorching chemistry in the darkness.
