They forged me into a weapon and never gave me a war. Then somebody murdered my sister inside the academy walls.

I’m the daughter of a disgraced general. Every person at Elites Academy is waiting to see what I turn out to be. So am I. Whatever I was supposed to inherit hasn't arrived.

Then Nyla, my only friend, and my sister in every way that counted, was murdered. She got close to whatever is rotting this place from the inside. That’s what got her killed. And I intend to finish what she started.

What I didn't count on were the five men who refuse to let me do this alone.

A High Demon who's hated me since I walked through the gates, and hates himself even more for wanting me.

A Vampire with a past that shouldn't be possible;

A Mage with his own mystery to solve, yet all of his leads point to me;

An Elemental on a mission to save a realm no one knows is dying;

And a Half Angel who wants far more from me than the vengeance I came here for.

But nothing at this academy is what it seems. The walls are breached. The enemy is already inside, and every answer I dig up unravels something I'm not ready to know.

I didn’t come here to claim a legacy. I came for a name. And if I have to start a war to find it, then so be it.
