At Nevermore Academy, a place built for the extraordinary and the outcast, Scarlette Lilith Nevora Ravielle Morana Ravenshade moves like a shadow-cold, calculating, and untouchable. She doesn't care for friendships, approval, or even authority. But there is one presence she can't ignore.
Principal Larissa Weems.
With her commanding presence and enigmatic gaze, Weems watches Scarlette closely, studying her like a puzzle just waiting to be solved. Scarlette, ever the provocateur, meets every silent challenge with a smirk, every unspoken rule with defiance. But beneath her icy demeanor, something stirs-a dangerous game of power, restraint, and desire.
When a public confrontation with her rival, Bianca, spirals into violence, Scarlette finds herself summoned to Weems' private office-and for the first time, she is faced with someone who might just be able to tame her. Or break her.
As whispers haunt the academy and secrets stir within its walls, Scarlette and Weems find themselves entangled in something far more sinister than their battle of wills. A past that refuses to stay buried. A connection that neither of them can deny. And a truth that, once uncovered, might consume them both.
A tale of control and surrender, of ice and fire, of a forbidden game where the line between obsession and love blurs beyond recognition.
At Nevermore, not all monsters lurk in the dark-some wear silk gloves and whisper your name like a promise.
