Cass keeps being haunted by memories of his past and when he wakes up in a graveyard after being stabbed by his father, he meets an old man named Gionito, who teaches him how to use rune magic. On his 17th birthday, he is taken to a school that trains young Rune users to use thier powers but he isn't there for that. He thinks he will find a lead on his father and hopefully the rest of 7 Princes .....
At Blackthorn Academy, survival isn't just about grades-it's about power. The elite school for supernatural beings is a battlefield where alliances shift, rivalries simmer, and danger lurks around every corner.
Cain Laurent never asked to be special. A werewolf-witch hybrid, he's spent his life suppressing the power in his blood, knowing it makes him a target. But when he's sent to Blackthorn, keeping a low profile isn't an option-especially when his presence unsettles even the strongest creatures on campus. The vampires see him as a threat. The werewolves see him as an anomaly. And Lucian Devereaux, the Vampire Prince, sees him as something far more dangerous.
Lucian is everything Cain hates-cold, calculating, impossibly perfect. Their rivalry is instant, electric, and laced with an unspoken tension neither of them dares name. But when a new, deadly faction emerges-one that hunts hybrids like Cain-they're forced into an uneasy alliance. As the bodies pile up and secrets unravel, Cain must confront the truth of his own power... and the feelings he swore he'd never have.
Enemies by nature. Partners by necessity. And something else entirely when no one's watching.
But trust is a dangerous game at Blackthorn. And betrayal? Inevitable.
