What do a heartless Dragon Shifter, a cold-blooded Basilisk, an arrogant Lion Shifter and a brooding, tattooed Harpy have in commonโฆ? Me. Elise Callisto. Vampire. Angel of vengeance. And a girl on a mission to destroy one of them for murdering my brother. I just donโt know which one did it yet. When I interrogated/accidentally killed a Werewolf who was high on a new and dangerous drug called Killblaze, his final words painted a dark reality for me. The King of Aurora Academy killed my brother. The trouble is, thereโs four kings at the academy and each of them have motive and bloodthirsty natures. Aurora Academy isnโt a place for the faint of heart. To put it lightly, my town is the cesspit of Solaria where the most cutthroat Fae in the kingdom reside. The school itself is divided by the two gangs who run this city. The Lunar Brotherhood and the Oscura Clan. And guess what? Two of the kings run the gangs at the academy, their hatred for each other so fierce I hear a day doesnโt go by without blood being spilled in the halls. I might be a petite, lilac-haired girl who looks like I couldnโt hurt a fly, but they havenโt been introduced to my fangs yet. And they donโt know why Iโm really here. Or that Iโll do whatever it takes to bring down the Fae who took my flesh and blood from me. I donโt believe in fate, but I do know thisโฆ the King who killed my brother is a dead man walking. And Iโm prepared to sacrifice my heart, body and soul to ensure I get my revenge.
