THIS IS A BL STORY. "Enter if you dare-because Evernight never forgets the names it keeps." Evernight Academy stands on a mountain where the sun never seems to rise fully. Fog coils around its spires. The bells ring even when no one pulls the rope. And every year, one student is quietly erased - records burned, dorm reassigned, name forgotten. They call it expulsion. But no one ever sees them leave. When Alistair Quinn Veridian transfers to Evernight on a scholarship, he already knows the truth is buried somewhere inside its stone walls. Seven years ago, his older brother vanished from the same academy - labeled "withdrawn due to personal reasons." Alistair doesn't believe in coincidences. He believes in patterns. And Evernight repeats the same one every year. Watching him from the shadows is Cassian Dale Valemont, the untouchable Student Council President and heir to one of the academy's founding families. Cold. Controlled. Revered. Feared. With every secret uncovered, the tension between them tightens - sharp glances, dangerous proximity, whispered arguments in candlelit corridors. Because Cassian isn't just protecting the academy. He's protecting something beneath it. Something that feeds on silence. Something that has been waiting. And when the bells ring three times at midnight, Evernight always takes what it's owed. This year, it might take two.
