Welcome back to Sinclaire Academy where blood determines power, and power rules all. Rank, power, and influence are all determined by the Pyramid-the unshakable caste system that governs every creature within its walls. For generations, the rules have remained unchanged. Even the parents of today's students once walked the halls of the academy, ruling from the top of the social chain as the infamous Fearsome Four-vampires from the most powerful families: the Woodsens and the Sinclaires. Now, their children have returned to claim their place. But these heirs are not like those who came before them. They are Half-Bloods, beings with mixed blood forbidden and outlawed by the vampire Council. Born from unions the Pyramid was built to forbid. Wielding powerful bloodlines on one side and immeasurable abilities on the other, they are walking contradictions. Living threats. And the entire Council is watching. Will they rise to greatness? Or shatter the legacy their families fought to build? Cover Design by Louise De Ramos
