Kiss of Ashes (Fire & Fall Duet #1)

Sylvenor College is a place of prestige... and secrets.

When Ceallach Lucasta steps through its iron gate, she isn't searching for knowledge. She's hunting for the truth behind her sister's mysterious death. Whispers of missing students and unspoken horrors haunt the campus halls, but no one dares to question them.

No one, except her.

Then she meets him. The brilliant, cold, and feared Professor. He's the heir to the very family she despises, the dynasty tied to corruption and blood. Every instinct tells her to stay away. And yet, beneath his cruel reputation, she sees a man with shadows darker than her own.

Drawn to each other in defiance of reason, Ceallach and Thiago ignite a dangerous bond. One that tempts her closer to answers, but also closer to ruin. Because in Sylvenor, love is not a sanctuary... it's a weapon.

And the closer she gets to him, the closer she comes to a truth that could destroy them both.
