The #1 bestselling dark academy romance series!
They caged her. They broke her. They left her to burn. But death wasn't the end—it was the beginning.
Micai died in a burning prison cell, forgotten and alone. When she wakes years in the past—young, unscarred, and very much alive—she refuses to waste her second chance. No more the magic-less daughter of a powerful witch bloodline: this time, she'll fight.
She's back at Wensridge Academy — a gothic fortress of ivy-draped stone and brutal cruelty, where the supernatural elite have always seen her as prey. Now she intends to own it—starting with the man who put a blade to her cheek on day one, and smiled when she didn't flinch.
But something powerful came back with her she can't explain. And she's not the only one who's noticed...
They wanted her broken. They made her dangerous.
Perfect for fans of Jaymin Eve, J. Bree and Gothikana. Dark academy fantasy full of action, revenge and five dark and damaged love interests that she will not have to choose between.
