Whispers in the Dark Academy

Whispers in the Dark AcademyFor twenty years, Morana Thera has lived quietly in the rain-soaked port town of Greywater, believing she is an ordinary girl with a mysterious scar on her arm and a past she is forbidden to question. Then a black-sealed letter arrives from Hollowmere Academy, a legendary school hidden beyond a dark lake. The invitation reveals a truth her guardian has spent her entire life concealing: Morana is the last descendant of the Thera bloodline, a family of forbidden hemomancers who were hunted and erased nineteen years ago.
At Hollowmere, magic is governed by strict laws, ancient secrets are buried beneath the school, and the walls themselves seem to remember the dead. Morana soon discovers that her blood possesses a power far greater than anyone expected. Her strange abilities attract the attention of the ruthless wardens, the mysterious Provost Vex, and Alkandros Sarkany, the dangerous heir of the family once accused of betraying the hemomancers.
But someone else is watching her. Whispers emerge from the sealed walls. Lights burn beneath the lake in a drowned city. An ancient road leads toward secrets that were never meant to be uncovered. And somewhere inside Hollowmere lies the truth about what happened to Morana's mother. As Morana gets closer to the forbidden Third Corridor, she must decide whom she can trust-and whether the greatest danger at Hollowmere is the magic hidden within its walls or the power awakening inside her own blood.
Because some secrets are buried for a reason. And some doors were sealed not to keep something out, but to keep something in.
