Gravemont Academy isn't a school-it's a prison carved from curses and legacy.
Astria Astrid Riley Onna was born to inherit terror. Her mother is the infamous Japanese phantom who drowned her victims and carved her name into folklore. But Astria refuses the throne of blood and death waiting for her-she wants a life not written in screams.
Nason Decken already tried to escape his fate. Son of the captain of a phantom ship lost between the living and the dead, he faked his own death rather than follow his father's path. But destiny has a long memory... and sharper teeth.
Both were forced back into Gravemont, a college built for monsters born from legend-vampires, ghosts, witches, demons, and things even humans can't name. Every student is bound to their ancestry.
Except them.
And the academy does not forgive rebellion.
The deeper Astria and Nason resist their bloodlines, the more the shadows stir. Wardens stalk the halls, spirits whisper warnings, and ancient doors hunger to claim them. But somewhere between fear and defiance, they find something forbidden-each other.
In a school where fate is enforced by death itself, choosing your own destiny comes with a price.
Some legacies kill you for escaping.
Some legacies kill you for falling in love.
