By day, she repairs broken books in a quiet shop no one notices. By night, the city fractures—and every cracked oath, failing ward, and shattered alliance pulls her closer to the center of a war she never wanted.

Behind closed doors and inside gilded walls, women step into worlds where every glance is a challenge, every touch a claim.

In a Victorian academy built on secrets, assassins, and whispered betrayals, she arrives with a false name… and a talent the faculty can’t trace. Her gift with poisons should have kept her hidden in the shadows — instead, it draws the attention of the academy’s four most dangerous students. A Duelist born of nobility with a blade as sharp as his hunger. An Apothecary whose ink-stained hands know exactly where to touch. A Spy who hides behind masks and watches her like he already owns her. A Saboteur who builds explosions with the same care he uses to unmake her breath. They shouldn’t want her.

A winged guardian with a gaze like lightning. A drake whose heat melts her fear. A wraith who touches her through dreams. A wolf who chases her under the moon. And a horned king bound to the roots of the curse itself.
