Eclipse of Thorns

By BRADLEY KESSLER

They told me I was broken. They didn't know I was the weapon.

I am a ghost in the Citadel-a scholarship student from the slums, invisible to the elite Fae princes who rule this academy. My only goal was to survive, graduate, and disappear.

But the Citadel has secrets darker than the Void itself.

When a routine assessment goes wrong, I don't just fail. I dampen the magic of the most powerful mage in the room: Prince Alistair Blackwood.

Now, I'm being hunted. Not just by the cruel, stoic Prince who looks at me with equal parts hatred and hunger, but by the Headmaster who sees me as a battery for his twisted machine.

To survive, I have to rely on the four men who should be my enemies:
The Prince of Shadows who wants to break me.
The Storm-Caller who wants to charm me.
The Broken Warrior who wants to protect me.
The Genius who knows too much.

They think they can use me. They think I'm just a Vessel.
But they forgot one thing: If you stare into the Void long enough, it starts to get hungry.

Classes are in session. Try not to die.

Note: This is a Dark Academy / Urban Fantasy. It contains mature themes, and a slow-burn romance where the girl doesn't have to choose.
