Synopsis
The University of Venza is a place of ink, steel, and shadow, where the children of the five ruling families learn the art of war alongside philosophy. When Enzo Valenti climbs through Elara's window with a bleeding arm and news of an arranged marriage to a rival heiress, Elara must weaponize her mind to save him. But as they scour ancient texts for a loophole, the line between friendship and desire blurs, proving that the most dangerous game on campus isn't assassination—it's falling in love.
