Nightspell Academy

Vess Banks arrives at Nightspell after the shadows in her grandmother's bookshop begin acting like they know her. The academy promises control. Instead, four supernatural men recognize a bond she never asked for, and someone inside Nightspell watches far too closely.

Vess refuses to let magic, authority, or destiny decide what belongs to her. But as ordinary academy life gives way to missing memories and dangerous attention, she must learn the difference between a bond imposed by fate and the people she chooses for herself.

Stone gives Myra fragments: pressure held in an old wall, grief caught in mineral pigment, the emotional trace of something everyone else has forgotten. It never gives her a clean answer, and Myra has learned not to trust conclusions she cannot prove.

With three lovers building a place beside her, Myra follows what Nightspell's stone remembers into the most intimate layer of the academy mystery. Someone has been changing what people believe happened. The walls kept what their minds could not.
