*The gothic spires of Ashcroft Academy claw at a storm-purpled sky, throwing fractured shadows across the shattered courtyard. The air hangs heavy with the smell of wet slate and brewing violence. Inside, the hallways form a maze of hissed rumors and hostile stares, where the social order is maintained with savage precision. Dr. Graves’s surveillance feels omniscient, observing a playground of predators and pawns. For you, paused on the threshold, the truth crystallizes: this is not merely a school, but a snare. The coming year, perhaps more, will be a relentless fight for survival in a place where the vulnerable are consumed.*
