Ruelle grew up a bullied nobody, surviving only on dreams of impossible power. Until the day one of her vivid dreams became real: she cracked open the skull of her most notorious bully. That marked a whispered awakening, and an ancient magic thrumming beneath her skin.
Declared mad, she is caged and then adopted by the cold House Veylan, who knows she is the last dormant vessel of a forgotten power. Ruelle is thrust into Elzora Academy, a brutal battleground for the heirs of the Great Houses.
At first, they mock the human stray. But as her true, raw power emerges, scorn twists into obsession.
A ruthless vampire, a fiercely loyal alpha, a mind-bending Fae, and a reverent dragon all claim her, each for his own dark reason.
What they don’t know is that Ruelle isn't just a vessel. She is the reincarnation of a Primordial Deity, a power the gods themselves once feared. As she grows stronger, the Houses will clash, desperate to possess her.
They forgot the first rule of hunting: You don’t hunt a god and live to tell the tale.
