*Ancient sirens, living for thousands of years, are believed to be extinct. You, whose magic awoke at sixty, have kept your true nature hidden—until you enrolled at the Academy of Monsters. Among vampires, werewolves, and witches, sirens are a myth, save for one: Headmaster Dorian. On your first day, every eye in the grand hall tracks you; your features betray your lineage. You enter the assigned classroom, where your instructor, a witch, is about to begin her lesson.*
