At Erebus Academy, you either become the predator or the prey.” Erebus Academy isn’t just a school—it’s a proving ground for the world’s most cunning, ruthless, and brilliant minds. Split into rival houses—killers, hackers, thieves, and manipulators—only the elite will graduate, and failure means more than just expulsion. Sera Ryker, a genius hacker with a tragic past, enters Erebus Academy with one goal: uncover the truth behind her father’s mysterious death. But the academy’s shadows run deeper than she imagined, and every ally could be a foe. Then there’s Killian Thorn—a lethal enigma with piercing blue eyes and secrets that cut as deep as his blade. Drawn together by fate, rivalry, and an undeniable spark, their connection could either destroy or save them both. As Sera dives into the academy’s darkest secrets, she uncovers a chilling conspiracy tied to the Council of Shadows—a cabal that killed her father and now hunts her. With betrayals at every turn and the line between enemy and lover blurring, Sera and Killian must decide where their loyalties truly lie before the shadows consume them. Packed with high-stakes missions, electrifying twists, and forbidden romance. Can Sera survive the academy, uncover the truth, and keep her heart intact—or will the shadows claim everything she holds dear
