Touch her…and die.
Survive it… and you belong to her.
I’ve spent my entire life hiding one truth:
Anyone who touches me dies.
Now I’m trapped inside Blackthorn Academy—
the most brutal magical institution in the kingdom.
I have one year to break my curse.
Or it will destroy me.
Because here, power is everything.
The weak don’t graduate.
And the most dangerous power in this place?
The four men who rule it.
Aric Duskbane — control
Ronan Ash — violence
Caelan Frost — obsession
Silas Crow — manipulation
To them, I’m not a girl.
I’m a problem.
A weapon.
A threat.
Until everything goes wrong—
They touch me.
And instead of dying…
they bind to me.
Now we’re trapped in a cursed connection:
The closer they are, the stronger we become.
The farther they go, the more their bodies break.
If I die—
they die with me.
They hate it.
They fight it.
But they can’t stay away.
And neither can I.
Because something in the bond is changing.
Something darker.
Something deeper.
With deadly trials closing in, enemies watching,
and the truth of the academy beginning to crack—
I’m running out of time.
To break the bond.
To survive this place.
To stop what’s buried beneath it from rising.
But the real danger?
It’s not the curse.
It’s not the academy.
It’s them.
Because the way they look at me now—
isn’t control.
It’s possession.
It’s obsession.
And if I’m not careful…
this bond won’t destroy us.
It will make sure we never escape each other.
