For Lyra Vale and her brothers, Rowen, Elias, and Kael, The Lyceum of Veridian is more than a prestigious university-it's a sanctuary. After five years of running from a haunting past steeped in shadow and secrets, the regal, ancient campus offers the promise of a normal life. They can finally forget who they are and, more importantly, what they carry.

The brothers, acutely aware of how quickly their luck can turn, are desperate to keep their little sister and themselves hidden. They maintain a strict wall of anonymity, knowing any connection could expose their bloodline and shatter their fragile peace.

But as the siblings focus on fencing off the necessary distance between themselves and the outside world, the sanctuary begins to crack. Their old enemies are resurfacing, and new, darker threats are stirring within the Lyceum's ancient halls. It seems their past is not the only force ready to ruin their escape.

Trapped between the dangerous loyalty of their bloodline and a future that refuses to stay buried, the Vale must navigate menacing plots, familial duties, and the very real possibility that their greatest weapon-and weakness-is each other.

They ran to hide. Now they must fight to survive.
