A university of magic. A prince in disguise. A girl just trying to survive her first day.
Three Towers was once a political stronghold. Now it trains the next generation of magicians.
Ariane Foster just wants to blend in, pass her classes, and stop second-guessing every conversation. She’s spent years haunted by her past. University was supposed to be a fresh start.
Patrick Smith is charming, confident, and not exactly who he says he is. Behind the alias lies Prince Petrovius, trying to escape royal scrutiny and enjoy a rare taste of freedom.
But when Patrick kisses Ariane at a concert and collapses without warning, forgetting the moment entirely, something ancient is stirred. Their friends begin acting strangely, taking dangerous risks... and blacking out.
As the mysterious incidents escalate, Ariane must overcome her paralysing anxiety to investigate what's happening to the people she's finally learned to trust. Patrick, meanwhile, faces a devastating realisation: his royal bloodline may be the catalyst triggering these events. When the university's long-dormant magical defences activate in response to his presence, he's forced to choose between protecting his secret identity and protecting his friends.
If they can’t unravel what’s behind the strange events, Patrick could be expelled, or worse – summoned home in disgrace. But some secrets don’t just end friendships. They could end lives.
