Vicki Castellan doesn't do quiet.

At fifteen, she lights up every room at Stella's Academy -- quick-witted, fearless with a fencing foil, and followed by Heartlings drawn to her like flame. She makes people laugh. She makes Evan Hale blush. She makes the ancient walls hum in ways they haven't in centuries.

She has no idea what any of it means.

Until Room 314 opens.

Hidden between halls that shouldn't exist, the room changes for those it accepts. The kettle inside clacks, pours, and seems to know exactly who belongs. For Vicki, Mara, Julia, Lucien, and Evan, it becomes something rare at the Academy:

A place that feels safe.

But sanctuary means danger has already found you.

Mara and Julia Veryin share a surname, matching crystal pendants, and a connection neither can explain. Mara fights like survival came first. Julia watches and sees what others miss. Lucien carries a pendant that mirrors theirs -- and a weight he cannot name.

As the pendants begin to answer each other, the Academy shifts.

Doors open that were never meant to be found.
Students begin to change.
And something beneath the school stirs -- old, patient, and wrong.

This isn't a war that ended.

It's one that was waiting.

And in the middle of it all are five students who were never meant to matter -- until they do.

Ash & Hollow is a YA dark academy fantasy of found family, quiet power, and the cost of seeing harm before anyone else.

Book Two arrives June 26.
