Velvet Knives

At Blackthorne Academy, Nyra Vale is perfection incarnate.
Top grades. Flawless smile. Untouchable calm.

No one knows that beneath her uniform lies the heir to The Veil - a secret magical syndicate that rules the city's underground with memory spells, stolen artifacts, and quiet cruelty.

Nyra is the villain in every story.
And she likes it that way.

Until a mysterious new student arrives.
Ash Carter is observant, sharp, and hiding secrets of his own. He asks too many questions. Watches too closely. And when a powerful artifact goes missing at Blackthorne, their paths collide in a game of deception, danger, and irresistible tension.

She plans to manipulate him.
He plans to expose her.
But when darkness meets darkness...
love might be the most dangerous weapon of all.

In a world where magic hides beneath modern streets,
will they destroy each other...
or rule together?
