Adriana Morwynne, a girl who looks like she has everything. Wealth, beauty, ancestral prestige, arcane power, but in truth she's breaking under the weight of expectation and a fractured home. She's sent into the gilded pressure-cooker of Arcadia High, a supernatural academy where bloodlines, wealth, and legacy rule everything.
At Arcadia, she's drawn into the magnetic pull of four influential boys, the IT circle of the school. Each has his own magnetic pull and shadowed weakness. They're powerful, adored, feared, and also deeply flawed. Their presence complicates Adriana's life, forcing her to navigate alliances, rivalries, romance, and betrayal. She keeps finding herself tangled in their orbit.
The school itself isn't just a backdrop, it's like a character. Arcadia is built on archaic magic, silent rivalries and inherited curses, where students are trained not only in spells but in survival of a brutal social hierarchy. It's beautiful, dangerous, and suffocating... Equal parts sanctuary, crucible, and mausoleum of old families' ambitions.
Aru Shah and Aiden Acharya were childhood best friends-until Aru left without a word.
