The final term at Nocturne Academy has begun… and something dark is stirring beneath the surface... Avery Being gay in the magical world means hiding who you are—or paying the price. I’ve learned to keep my head down, stay close to my coven, and survive the football team's cruelty one insult at a time. But nothing prepared me for Saint, my new roommate. There’s a haunted look in his golden eyes... and a monster under his skin. A Cursed Drake lives inside him—possessive, obsessed, and terrifyingly fixated on me. He whispers of “cuddles,” but there’s violence in his desire. I should be running. Instead, I’m drawn to both the boy and the beast. Saint My whole life, I’ve been taught to fear what I am. To hide it. To fight it. But the curse burning inside me grows stronger every day. And when Avery came into my life—brilliant, brave, and already carrying wounds of his own—the fire inside me turned to obsession. He soothes my madness. Calms the chaos. But the Drake is hungry… and it wants him. If I give in, I’ll lose myself. If I resist, I might lose him. At Nocturne Academy, love is forbidden, dragons are cursed, and being different can get you killed. But some things are worth the danger.
