Willa has spent her entire life as a lowly dweller in Minatsol's rigid hierarchy, resigned to a lifetime of invisible servitude—until a single mistake forces her into the last place she ever wanted to be: Blesswood Academy, serving the five dangerously powerful Abcurse brothers. These arrogant, nearly-godlike sols are used to perfection and absolute obedience, and Willa's clumsy presence in their world feels like a ticking time bomb. As she navigates a cutthroat magical society that despises her very existence, she'll discover that survival means learning to hold her own among gods—and that nothing about this situation is quite what it seems.
