The halls are watching. The walls remember. And nothing stays buried forever.
At Wyrdwood Hall, tradition is law, names carry weight, and silence is survival. The Legacies-six students born from power and old blood-don't need friends. They need the world to stay exactly as it is.
New arrivals are told to keep their heads down, follow the rules, and never draw attention. But the rules keep changing. And the deeper you go, the more the school begins to feel... wrong.
Something ancient is awake in the walls of Wyrdwood.
