Natascha Griggs never asked to be a killer. But when her magic spiraled out of control, leaving bodies in its wake, she was given a choice-rot in prison or be sent to the Institute for the Unruly, a facility designed to rehabilitate children like her. She chose survival.
But the Institute isn't just a school. Beneath its pristine walls, something sinister lurks. Whispers of a long-dead tyrant, a cult that never truly died-and a chilling truth: they believe she's the key to bringing their leader back.
As she struggles to control her power and navigate the shifting alliances within the Institute, Natascha begins uncovering secrets she was never meant to find. With time running out and the walls closing in, she must decide: fight against a past she barely understands or embrace the darkness and become what they need her to be.
One choice could save her.
One choice could doom them all.
