Five centuries before Thornveil Academy became legendary, a dark lord named Elias Thornveil maintained a terrible bargain: his blood to feed a hungry garden, his solitude to keep a wound in the world closed. He accepted this as duty. Until the day a human scholar walked through his impossible gates.

Isolde Vance came seeking her lost sister. She found instead a man desperate to be chosen rather than merely served. Together, they dared to reimagine the ancient system of sacrifice and grief—discovering that the garden was lonely, the wound was waiting, and the curse that bound them might be transformed rather than broken.

They were wrong.

The Poison Garden is the villain origin story of the Thornveil Academy series: a tale of fated love, deliberate choice, and the terrible price of hope. Some partnerships change the world. Others become its darkest legend.

Perfect for fans of:

- Fourth Wing and Serpent & Dove

- Gothic academy fantasy with romantic elements

- Tragic love stories that reimagine the monster's beginning
