At Royal Cross Academy, a sprawling castle like school hidden deep within enchanted lands, the blood of ancient royalty still flows through certain students' veins marking them as heirs to long forgotten kingdoms and dangerous destinies.
Theo Ramirez, the Dark Prince, carries the shadowed heritage of a royal bloodline feared for its mastery of forbidden magic. Cold, cunning, and endlessly teasing, he hides his true feelings behind smirks and calculated mischief. Though darkness runs in his veins, Theo's sharp wit and reckless courage draw him into dangerous situations and into the path of someone who should be his opposite.
Issac Moreno, the Light Prince, is the heir to a lineage sworn to protect the magical realms from corruption. His presence radiates calm strength and sharp intellect, but his stubbornness often clashes with Theo's unpredictability. Bound by duty, Issac resists Theo's games.
Oliver, a gifted student and Legacy, descends from a line of magical scholars who once advised the thrones. Without royal blood but possessing extraordinary skill and knowledge, Oliver is caught between Theo and Issac, aiding in their research into the school's mysterious history and the secrets of the Bloodlines.
As whispers of war stir within the academy's ancient halls, forbidden libraries, and ghost lit corridors, the three are drawn into unraveling the truth behind Royal Cross Academy's founding and the hidden power locked within the Dean's sealed archives. Between Theo's dangerous charm, Issac's unshakable resolve, and Oliver's quiet loyalty, alliances blur and rivalries ignite.
But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes:
Light and Dark are bound together by more than rivalry.
And if the Bloodlines' truth is uncovered, it may destroy them or bind them forever.
