❝𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧'𝗦 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗘𝗥, (𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗘𝗥!) 𝗜 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗕𝗘 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗢 𝗬𝗢𝗨!❞
━━━ 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 was the mantra. The golden rule. The lifeline that kept Hanasato Minori moving forward through fifty failed auditions and a lifetime of clumsiness. She was just an ordinary girl with an extraordinary dream: to become an idol, to shine on stage, and to bring happiness to anyone who heard her voice.
But fate has a wicked sense of humor-and a penchant for the gothic.
One moment, she's in a practice room, rehearsing a routine with a new, mysterious antique prop. The next, she's waking up in a dusty, velvet-lined coffin in the center of the most prestigious, terrifying, and magically-elite academy in the world: Dark Raven College.
There are no stages here. No fans. No spotlights. Instead, there are brooding housewardens with short tempers, beastmen who hunt, sea-witch schemers, and a school Headmage who treats her like a convenient errand girl. Magic is everywhere, danger is a daily occurrence, and the atmosphere is thick with secrets that refuse to stay buried.
Minori is a girl of pure light, and she has just been dropped into the deepest, most twisted shadow.
The students are cynical. The curriculum is deadly. And the social hierarchy is a shark tank. But Minori didn't survive fifty rejections just to give up now. She's going to learn the magic, survive the dorms, and maybe-just maybe-teach this school a thing or two about the power of an idol's spirit.
Because if there's one thing Minori knows, it's that when the world tells you "no," you just have to work at it... 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦.ᐟ
