When lightning strikes during the worst night of her life, seventeen-year-old Harlow Brooks discovers her world isn't just broken-it was never what she thought it was. Thrust into the secretive Sunborn Academy, a gothic haven for vampires and other supernatural elites, Harlow must navigate brutal social hierarchies, cryptic rituals, and a bloodline she's never heard of-but which everyone seems to fear.
As tensions rise between the school's hidden factions, and a mysterious classmate vanishes without a trace, Harlow's strange affinity with electricity begins to draw dangerous attention. Is it the key to unlocking her past-or a curse that could destroy everything she's beginning to care about?
In a school where knowledge is weaponized, and one wrong move could erase your memories-or your life-Harlow must choose who to trust and what to become. Because Sunborn Academy doesn't just demand answers. It demands loyalty.
And blood always has a price.
