Some bonds are forged in darkness. Others are written in scars.

Lyra Blackwood never expected to survive her first year at Thornveil Academy. As a scholarship student with secrets in her blood, she's an outsider in a world of ancient magical families — until she's assigned to tutor the one person everyone else has given up on: Cassian Vane, the cursed heir who has already consumed every healer who tried to save him.

When a forbidden ritual binds their lives together, Lyra is pulled into a conspiracy that runs deeper than the academy's foundations. Someone has been controlling the realm's magic for five hundred years. Someone needs a vessel to finish what they started. And Lyra is exactly what they've been waiting for.

As darkness blooms between her and Cassian—equal parts danger and desire—Lyra begins to understand that her secrets aren't a liability. They're a weapon. But wielding them means becoming something she was never supposed to be.

In a world where power demands sacrifice and love is the most dangerous magic of all, the only thing more terrifying than the enemy waiting in the shadows is what Lyra might have to become to destroy him.

A Garden of Scars is a dark fantasy romance of curses, forbidden magic, and the bonds that transcend destiny.
