Book One: The Eclipse

For two hundred years, they have perfected the art of hating each other.

Professor Kaelith Nocturne teaches through blood and brutality-Hesitation is punished. Mercy is a lie. Space itself tears and folds at his will, and behind his black crystal glasses hide a monster even he fears.

Professor Sera Lumenis teaches through protection and sacrifice-her barriers forged from pain she refuses to explain. Her students live. Others bleed for it. No one knows who she was before the Academy, only that death has learned to stop at her hands.

Two centuries of rivalry sharpened into obsession.
Two gods wearing mortal skin.
And a desire that feels too much like violence.

In a world where students are meant to die and power is carved from suffering, the most dangerous thing is not the war beyond the gates.

It's falling in love when cruelty is all you have left to give.
