Ghouls. Creatures that relied on human flesh to survive. Hongjoong had always known they existed but he never gave them much thought. He was just an ordinary music student studying with his best friend Mingi. Who knew that a routine walk home would change everything he had ever known.

If someone had told Hongjoong a year ago that people would be standing before him claiming that he was a Halfa- born from a Witch and a Mortal- he probably would have called you crazy. Now, with his parents missing and no known guardians willing to take him, Hongjoong finds himself sent to a prestigious academy for the Magical Arts where the halls were flooded with strange occurrences and pretentious students who frowned on those with Mortal blood. By his next full passage around the sun he would have to make a choice: embrace his magical self and forever forsake his Mortal half or give up magic forever. But it is said in the old lore that a being of forbidden blood could become the most powerful of all and hold the keys to salvation.
