Academy of the Underlyings

Some students come to the Academy of the Underlyings to learn. Some come to belong. Ashlyn Mason came because they didn't give her a choice.

Blindfolded, transported across an ocean, and deposited into the most prestigious supernatural institution in existence, seventeen-year-old Ashlyn just wants to get through her first year without setting anything else on fire. But when her evaluation week ends with an unknown danger level, an unwanted pairing, and the full attention of the most powerful beings alive, keeping her head down stops being an option.

The Ancients built this school to shape the next generation of supernaturals. The Resistance wants to burn it down. And somewhere in the middle of all of it is Ashlyn: a hybrid no one can classify, carrying powers no one has seen since the Original Times, and a secret that could change everything.

She has no idea which side to trust. She's starting to think that's exactly why both of them want her.
