She was raised to be forgotten. He was raised to hunt girls like her.
Wren Ashdown has spent seventeen years learning how to be forgotten.
Then a letter arrives that will not burn, addressed to a name she was raised never to say aloud, summoning her to Thornwick Academy, where the heirs of magic's oldest bloodlines are bound to one another by a secret council called the Oath.
Every student arrives marked. Wren arrives with nothing but bare skin and a power she was taught to hide.
Kieran Ashgrave is the Oath's most loyal enforcer, sent to watch her every move and report what she is. But the closer he gets, the more lies he tells to keep her safe, and the more he discovers about what the Oath did to her mother.
In the candlelit halls of Thornwick, the girl who was meant to be forgotten and the boy who was meant to hunt her must decide what they are willing to risk for the truth, and for each other.
Some bonds are assigned. Some are chosen.
Perfect for readers who love dark academia, secret societies, enemies-to-lovers slow burn, and forbidden magic.
