At Blackwood College, rumors are currency - and the Blackwood twins are legend.
Unstable. Cruel. Untouchable.
When Nevan, a quiet nineteen-year-old first-year, transfers into the all-boys college, he expects nothing more than to stay invisible. He keeps his head down, speaks softly, and endures. He has learned that survival does not always mean fighting back.
But endurance can be mistaken for defiance.
Airn and Alastor Blackwood, feared second-years and self-proclaimed kings of the campus, notice Nevan immediately. His calm unnerves them. His lack of fear fascinates them. Where others break, Nevan stays silent - cold, untouched, unreadable.
Bullying turns into obsession.
Control turns into possession.
As Nevan forms his first fragile friendship and tries to live a normal college life, the twins circle closer, each drawn to him for different reasons - one craving domination, the other quiet control. And beneath Nevan's softness lies a past that explains his stillness... and a breaking point no one sees coming.
In a world ruled by fear and power, Nevan becomes the new songbird - gentle, resilient, and dangerous in his silence.
Because some songs are not meant to be silenced.
They are meant to change those who hear them.
