The Hybrid

Tuition at Blackwood Academy costs more than money. It costs blood.

Elara Vance is the charity case. The scholarship student. The invisible girl. At least, that's what she thought until she stepped into the gothic halls of Blackwood Academy and locked eyes with Kael Blackwood.

He is the heir to the school's dark legacy-arrogant, lethal, and terrifyingly beautiful. He warns her to run. He threatens her life. But he is also the only one who looks at her like she is dangerous.

When Elara discovers a hidden diary in her dorm room, she realizes she wasn't chosen for her grades. She was chosen as a Vessel for a deadly ritual. Now, trapped in a castle full of secrets, she has to make an impossible choice: become the victim they want her to be, or make a pact with the monster who promised to destroy her.

Rule #1: Don't trust the shadows.
Rule #2: Never fall for the villain.
