Averine Valerie Ashbourne has always been... different. Mula pagkabata hanggang high school, her sharp mind, curiosity, and strange aura made her stand out-and sometimes, made her the perfect target. Expelled from multiple schools, she's learned to fight back, to survive, and to never apologize for who she is. Pero this time, a new chapter begins. Sa Valerian Academy, every student hides a secret-and every ability has a price. Armed with her intelligence, self-defense skills, multilingual charm, and quiet elegance, Averine must learn to navigate friendships, rivalries, and the mysteries buried within the academy's walls. And as she uncovers the truth piece by piece, she starts to realize...the world is far bigger-and far darker-than she ever imagined. Because sometimes, being different isn't a curse... it's a warning.
