A castle of black stone, steeped in magic and mystery, Bartholomew University is where the wealthy and powerful come to secure their futures.
The halls are hollow and cold. I never wanted to return here, not after the only warmth in my life was stolen from me. But I know my place in this family: a bargaining chip, valuable only for strengthening my grandfather's alliances.
And yet, I can't escape them.
Every corner I turn, they're there.
Vaelor's golden eyes sear through my skin. Connor's possessive growls rattle the foundations beneath my feet.
They're binding me in webs and chains, claiming me with their rage and an unrelenting desire to prove I belong to them-even when I swear I don't.
