Imagine having your world shattered in an instant-parents killed in a car crash, shipped off to a remote boarding school in Alaska, and suddenly surrounded by impossibly beautiful classmates who seem to harbor dark secrets. This is Grace Foster's new reality as she arrives at Katmere Academy, a Gothic castle complete with gargoyles and flying buttresses nestled near the edge of Denali. The interior is just as impressive-high ceilings, black crystal chandeliers, and students who stare at her with unusual intensity. During her first exploration, Grace encounters Jaxon Vega, the most intimidating yet devastatingly handsome guy she's ever seen. Their first meeting is electric, and despite his intimidating presence, Grace glimpses layers of agony in his obsidian eyes that mirror her own grief. Before they part, he leaves her with an ominous warning: keep her head down, don't look too closely at anyone, and always watch her back. That night, unable to sleep, Grace explores the castle corridors and encounters two students who attempt to drag her outside into the deadly cold. Just as they grab her, Jaxon appears, sending her attackers flying across the entryway with seemingly superhuman strength. His cryptic warning afterward-that he's made her "a pawn in a game you can't begin to understand"-leaves Grace wondering what dangerous situation she's stumbled into.
