Caldwell Seminary - officially ranked among the most prestigious universities in the nation, and by all accounts, one of the most impossible to enter. Top eight, they say.
What they don't know is that there are only two ways anyone ever gets in.
You're either seen - chosen by a member of the faculty, subjected to a series of grueling tests, and left to wait in silence, praying for acceptance.
Or... you're entitled - your place reserved by blood, born into legacy.
Not that it matters. For the first three years, regardless of how you got in, you're treated the same.
Like a mistake. Or worse-a prey.
Why would anyone subject themselves to that, you might ask? Because after the torment, the isolation, the unmaking of your old self, you earn something few ever do:
A place among the elite - untouchable, unbound by law or consequence. A society that moves in shadows and shapes the world, while the rest simply live in it.
My name is Morgana Thorne, and I've just been named one of the Bloodbound Scholars.
