Kagako University is the first magical institution to open its doors to humans. It’s a revolutionary step toward unity—or so it seems. India Rookpath never thought she’d be at the center of this experiment. Accepted as one of the first human students, she enters a world of ancient power and hidden dangers. The halls of Kagako are filled with creatures far beyond human understanding, some curious, others openly hostile. As India navigates an unfamiliar world, alliances are fragile, trust is rare, and the line between friend and enemy blurs. In the shadows, forces conspire against her. A powerful enemy watches her every move, intent on ensuring she doesn’t survive long enough to uncover the truth. Among the dragons, weretigers, and mysterious students she meets, India must decide who to trust before she becomes just another forgotten name in Kagako’s long and bloody history. Secrets run deep. Some can destroy everything.
