Exiled from Oakhaven to escape his brothers’ blade-hungry ambition, Prince Kaelen finds no sanctuary at Aethelgard Academy. Hidden behind walls of singing iron and weeping gargoyles, this elite university is a slaughterhouse where the syllabus is written in gore and the only path to graduation is survival. As Kaelen enters a hall slick with the viscera of those who failed the entrance rite, he is thrust into a cutthroat world of dark magic and lethal competition. To endure Final Exam at Aethelgard, Kaelen must navigate a labyrinth of political betrayal, dangerous romance, and the academy’s rotting, ancient secrets. He came here to study the art of ruling, but in these halls, there are no princes—only the living, and the dead.
