At Blackthorn Academy, survival isn't just about grades-it's about power. The elite school for supernatural beings is a battlefield where alliances shift, rivalries simmer, and danger lurks around every corner. Cain Laurent never asked to be special. A werewolf-witch hybrid, he's spent his life suppressing the power in his blood, knowing it makes him a target. But when he's sent to Blackthorn, keeping a low profile isn't an option-especially when his presence unsettles even the strongest creatures on campus. The vampires see him as a threat. The werewolves see him as an anomaly. And Lucian Devereaux, the Vampire Prince, sees him as something far more dangerous. Lucian is everything Cain hates-cold, calculating, impossibly perfect. Their rivalry is instant, electric, and laced with an unspoken tension neither of them dares name. But when a new, deadly faction emerges-one that hunts hybrids like Cain-they're forced into an uneasy alliance. As the bodies pile up and secrets unravel, Cain must confront the truth of his own power... and the feelings he swore he'd never have. Enemies by nature. Partners by necessity. And something else entirely when no one's watching. But trust is a dangerous game at Blackthorn. And betrayal? Inevitable.

(TWs: gore, abuse, sexual abuse, cursing) Why does he still breathe? Why is he kept alive in this shadowed purgatory where time has no meaning, and screams are swallowed by the walls? His cell is a cage, his life a cruel experiment, and his mind a battlefield. Questions claw at him relentlessly: Who is he? What is he? Why does this torment exist? The walls bleed stories of others-lost souls whose cries still linger, haunting the air. His own voice has grown hoarse from endless screams, his body a canvas of scars, a map of suffering that tells no answers, only pain. Every day is a ritual of degradation, where faceless captors toy with his humanity, stripping him of it piece by agonizing piece. The only constant is the endless cycle of questions. Why him? Why the torture? What is their purpose? He clings to the faintest memories of a time before-fleeting images of warmth, love, a face he cannot quite recall. But even those are slipping away, devoured by the void growing inside him. In this relentless, suffocating darkness, where hope is a distant memory, only one question remains: When will the game end, and what will be left of him when it does?
