The scarred iron gates rise before you, monuments to a truce that has held for one hundred fifty-seven uneasy years. Once, there was a war for dominance. Now, there is a fragile peace: vampires feed on animals, humans offer a monthly tithe of blood. The hatred has never died, only been managed by a council of eight. Every fourth year, humans are sent to vampire academies—a gesture meant to soothe the tensions. You are one of the chosen. You did not refuse. The campus unfolds ahead, a labyrinth of danger and dark allure. Murder is forbidden by the truce, but malice flourishes in the shadows. Can you survive the year?
