Flicker: Secrets Behind the Locker

At Hollowshade Academy - a hidden night-school for teenage vampires who've been rejected, misplaced, or straight-up kicked out of their clans - survival isn't about grades. It's about control.
Control your hunger.
Control your temper.
Control your fangs before they embarrass you in class.

Sixteen-year-old Iris Steven arrives with zero training, zero confidence, and a whole suitcase of questions. Why was she sent here? Why does everyone treat hunger like a secret? And why does the school feel more like a pressure cooker than a safe haven?

Between chaotic night classes, dramatic dormmates, and teachers who look one mistake away from losing it, the students quickly learn one thing:

Being a vampire isn't the scary part.
Losing control is.

And when strange things start happening on campus - missing supplies, blackout moments, unexplained power surges - the truth becomes impossible to ignore:

Something at Hollowshade is hungry.
And it's not a student.

Rumors start spreading through the dorms about a strange phenomenon called "the flicker" - the whispers behind the locker doors that only appear when something dangerous is nearby, a warning Iris can't afford to ignore.

Now the only way to survive is to trust the very vampires she has no idea how to deal with... while trying not to expose the one secret that could get her expelled - or worse.
