A blood moon curse.

A ruthless academy for magic users.

Get ready for a new, unputdownable YA fantasy with Surinamese influence and a swoon-worthy rivals-to-lovers romance, perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and Stranger Things.

Born during the blood moon and cursed with the dangerous ability to manipulate other people's souls, Priya has to hide her power or face death.

But when Priya wins a place to attend the country's elite military academy in Kuwatta, her curse is revealed to be a gift and everything changes. With a centuries-old war still raging and strange dangers lurking, Priya must decide how much she is willing to sacrifice for her people and her country.
