At Crescent City Institute of Power, Jade Dupree is supposed to learn control-master the living shadows stitched into her blood. Instead, something ancient wakes the moment she arrives. Something that remembers her name. Whispers crawl through the walls. Darkness follows her like a second spine. And when Jade is paired with blood‑bender Trey Baptiste-her opposite, her echo, her catalyst-their powers collide hard enough to shake the school to its bones. Students vanish. Creatures rise. The city grows colder each night. Every spell, every truth, every breath pulls Jade closer to the destiny she was never meant to escape: a weapon carved by the dark itself. And when the final shadow falls, Crescent City won't survive what's been waiting for her. No one will. Because some stories don't end in light- they end with the world going dark.
