The Academy of Ash and Gold // Xavier Thorpe

At Reichenbach Academy, a centuries-old institute, the burgundy and gold uniforms are pressed and dry-cleaned. Aiming for perfection and status. The academy, buried in the depths of the Swiss Alps and built on secrets, has something ancient that has begun to stir.

When a werewolf student collapses mid-class, his skin etched with glowing silver sigils, whispers of a new sickness ripple through the school. The administration calls it contained. The students know better.

Thorn Rosales, a half-vampire psychic with a reputation for trouble, feels the song in her bones long before anyone else does. Xavier Thorpe, the tortured artist from Nevermore, still haunted by the Hyde and his own mistakes, starts sketching the same symbols that now burn across his classmate's skin.

Drawn together by coincidence, or something far more deliberate, they uncover the truth: a haunting secret bleeding through the academy's walls.

But Reichenbach has always thrived on silence.
And the walls are starting to sing.
