Mila has always known there was something wrong with her. Not broken. Not cursed. Just... different. She sees things other people miss. Feels things she can't explain. And her cat has always watched her with far too much intelligence in his eyes. Then, one night, he turns into a guy. Before Mila can demand answers, she's dragged from the only life she's ever known and taken to a hidden academy where the students aren't entirely human, magic runs through bloodlines, and cat-shifters train to control powers that can be as deadly as claws. Everyone at the academy seems to know Mila. Or at least, they know what she is. The problem is, Mila doesn't. As ancient secrets begin to surface and dangerous abilities awaken inside her, Mila discovers that her entire life may have been built on a lie. Her past was hidden for a reason. Her arrival at the academy was no accident. And whatever she really is? Some people are willing to kill to keep it buried.
