Cryptid Academy

For centuries, monsters have lurked in the shadows, whispered about in legends, feared by humanity. But hidden deep in the mountains of Appalachia, beyond human sight, lies Cryptid Academy-a school where creatures of myth and nightmare are trained to control their powers, navigate their place in the supernatural hierarchy, and uncover the secrets of their own existence.
But something is wrong.

Students are disappearing. Shadows move where they shouldn't. And beneath the Academy's grand halls and ancient traditions, something is waiting.
Four students stand at the heart of the mystery:

Arista Centauris - A centaur born into a dynasty of warriors and scholars, Arista has spent her life striving for perfection, balancing human intellect with raw, beastly strength. But beneath her flawless exterior, she struggles with the feeling that she is never enough.

Onyx Stonemire - A gargoyle bound by duty and time, Onyx has spent centuries watching from the heights of a ruined castle, guarding the long forgotten keep. But as the world changes around him, he must decide if he can change with it.

Varek Ashborn - A skinwalker haunted by his past. The Academy offers him a chance at control, but nothing can erase the truth of what he did to get his power. He cannot undo the blood on his hands, cannot silence the voice whispering that he is nothing but a monster. He came to Cryptid Academy searching for redemption-but some sins refuse to be buried.

Seraphina Frost - A ghost trapped in the moment of her death, Seraphina doesn't remember crossing over. All she knows is that she was murdered, and the boy she loved walked away. Now, drawn to Cryptid Academy by forces she can't understand, she's bound to the earth eternally searching for love and revenge

As the four of they navigate the Academy's seemingly endless grounds, buried histories, and the dark forces that stir beneath its walls, they realize that whatever is causing this is more than they could've ever imagined
