Roe Kettler is a dock girl with forbidden transformation magic who wasn't supposed to survive Cantara Academy. When the Designating Stone marks her amethyst—the thirteenth student in three hundred years to carry that color—she becomes either the academy's greatest success story or its next disappearance.

Assigned a mentor from the family funding her scholarship, Roe has three weeks to prove her magic can be controlled. But beneath the academy lies the Vault, where students too dangerous to tame simply vanish. Eleven amethysts have disappeared. They say her mother escaped before she could become the twelfth.

They're lying.

A YA dark academia romantasy featuring enemies-to-lovers romance, found family, institutional rebellion, and the slow burn that satisfies.
