Nevermore Academy has a place for every kind of monster - but Spencer Hawthorne was never taught how to be one.
After a night of violence tears her family apart, eighteen-year-old Spencer is exiled to Nevermore Academy - a school for outcasts perched on the edge of a dark forest, gargoyles watching from every ledge. She arrives starved, silent, and convinced she doesn't deserve the wolf inside her, let alone a second chance.
Isadora Capri, the school's head of music, sees straight through the walls Spencer's built - because she once built the same ones herself. What starts as concern becomes something neither of them expected: a connection that's tender, forbidden, and impossible to look away from.
Set against the gothic halls and hidden secrets of Nevermore, this is a story about the wreckage trauma leaves behind, the quiet work of healing, and the kind of love that finds you exactly when you've stopped believing you're worth finding.
