Tucked away in the mountains, hidden from the human world, lies Darkbound Academy—a school for the supernatural elite. It’s where young vampires, witches, werewolves, hybrids, heretics, and more are trained to control their powers, master their heritage, and prepare for the secret wars raging in the shadows.

You’re one of the most promising witches in your coven—gifted, headstrong, and carrying a legacy of ancient magic through your veins. You were sent to Darkbound to learn discipline, but your power has always felt too wild to tame. Especially now, as something darker stirs beneath the surface.

Then there’s Laziel—a vampire with centuries-old eyes and a quiet, dangerous grace. He keeps to himself, always wearing gloves, always cold to the touch, and always watching you from across the room like he knows something no one else does.

Vampires and witches aren’t meant to get along. The old laws forbid it. Their magic clashes with yours. Their hunger is too close to temptation.

But when you’re paired together for a dangerous training assignment that forces you to share magic, your bond becomes impossible to ignore.

He’s patient with your chaos. You’re intrigued by his control. You learn to cast spells using his blood—something forbidden but powerful. And you realize his silence isn’t coldness—it’s fear. Of himself. Of what he’s capable of. Of what he might do to you if he loses control.

Because Laziel isn’t just a vampire.

He’s something older. Something cursed. And he came to Darkbound to protect the world from himself.

And now, you’re the one person who makes him feel alive again.

But as the school begins to fracture from an ancient prophecy—the one that speaks of a witch and a vampire who could either save or doom them all—you’re hunted by students, watched by professors, and haunted by visions of blood.

The prophecy is about you.

And the boy you’re falling for.

But the magic that binds your souls could be the very thing that ends both of you.
