BEAUTIFULLY DAMNED
Aurevane Academy has educated the most powerful young royals and magical bloodlines for thousands of years.
Its towers are ancient. Its rules are ruthless. Its students are anything but ordinary.
For most students, another year at Aurevane means exams, rivalries, competitions, parties, friendships, and the endless pressure of being born into powerful families.
For Crown Prince Cassian, it should have been simple.
It isn't.
Cassian possesses the Ninefold, a form of magic so immense that even the academy struggles to understand it. His power is beyond ordinary classification, and when he was younger, his Core created another vessel, Eidolon, to contain what his body could not.
Cassian isn't the only problem.
His best friend Lucien, a prince with a talent for trouble and a secret far more frightening than anyone realizes, seems determined to make every school year worse. Seraphim, Cassian's beautiful and fiercely ambitious betrothed, is constantly trying to prove that she deserves her place beside him. And Vespera, jealous of their engagement, has no intention of making their lives peaceful.
But beneath the ordinary chaos of academy life, something is changing.
A student disappears.
Forbidden areas of the academy begin opening.
Ancient symbols appear where they shouldn't.
Professors start hiding information.
And somewhere beneath Aurevane is a secret that predates the current kingdoms, the current royal families, and perhaps even the academy itself.
The only person old enough to know the truth may be Headmaster Alistair Veyne, an 89,000-year-old former nobleman who has served beneath countless rulers and witnessed civilizations that no longer exist.
He knows more than he says.
And Cassian may be the reason.
At Aurevane Academy, everyone is hiding something.
Some secrets can destroy reputations.
Some can destroy kingdoms.
And some were never meant to be discovered at all.
Welcome to Aurevane Academy.
