**Your next BookTok obsession awaits -- step into a gothic castle for a spicy, dark, and irresistibly addictive student-teacher romance that will leave you aching for more.**

Vampires crave more than just blood when they slip into students' beds.
Refusing a vampire is dangerous... but refusing the headmaster? Impossible.

As night falls at Volmasque Academy, the student dorms become a dark realm where wolf shifters are forced to succumb to the twisted desires of vampires.

SUSIE:
Still recovering from recent trauma, wolf shifter Susie stays awake in her dorm to watch over the first years, determined to prevent them from suffering a similar fate. But the last thing she expects is to witness the headmaster she'd once admired attempt to feed on a vulnerable student. Unable to stand by and do nothing, she faces a harrowing choice: to protect another, can she muster the courage to invite the monster into her room -- and into her bed?

ARKEN:
Haunted by his tragic past, Headmaster Arken seeks solace in drink to numb his pain, all whilst trudging through the daily grind at the academy. Until Susie catches his eye, breaking his monotony and offering a glimmer of hope for the future. Inspired by her vision to transform the academy into a fairer place for all, Arken soon finds himself longing for not only her blood, but her companionship as well. But to win her heart, he must first confront the toughest challenge of all: transforming himself.

As darkness looms over Volmasque Academy, their growing forbidden bond exposes them to increasing danger. Will Susie be the one to redeem the besotted headmaster, or will his love doom her to be a victim forever?

Indulge in this HOT, emotional Dark Romantasy featuring a forbidden love story between a teacher and student that pushes the boundaries of morality and desire. Set in an 18+ castle academy where wolf shifters are subjugated by vampires, this addictive tale will keep you up all night with fiery tension, steamy spice scenes, dangerous secrets, court intrigue, and a battle for redemption.
