Branded a Dryblood, Rowan Ashcroft is betrayed by the boy she saved, robbed of her blood oath and exiled from the Obsidian Night Court. Yet she carries forbidden Dawn Blood, roused by the Blood Eclipse to break blood bonds. After Dorian rejects her, she enters Nightfall Academy, outshining sneering purebloods and catching Severin’s eye. Cassian, Frostnight heir, secretly aids her but stays distant. At the Blood Eclipse, the Bloodwood trial turns deadly. Linked to Cassian, Rowan awakens platinum wings and destroys the altar core. When the academy’s blood crystal erupts, she shields everyone—though Severin labels her out of control, one student stands with her as her wings are captured on record.
