Aetherion Academy Year 1: Shadows of Rebirth.
"You also feel that Lumira died an unjust death, just like me? Then let's see how you change the story."
Rina Vale's death was as absurd as her life was ordinary: flattened by a truck moments after furiously text-bombing a webnovel author about the tragic demise of her favorite character.
Now, in a twist of divine malice or cruel irony, Rina has been reborn inside that very character: Lumira Duskbane, the reviled, doomed villainess of the fantasy novel, Saintess of Hauntspire High.
Lumira was meant to be a tragic footnote - hated by all, destined to die alone, and her magical legacy fading into dust. But Rina, trapped in the villainess's body, now holds the pen. A dark contract with the author himself binds her fate: she must survive the elite Aetherion Academy and write a new, terrifying story to replace the tragedy of the past.
Branded a revenant and a curse, Lumira’s life is a gauntlet of public humiliation. Her arrogant ex, Alpha Jaxon, hunts her with merciless suspicion, obsessed with proving she is responsible for the darkness gripping the school. Yet, amidst the scorn, the enigmatic vampire, Prince Kaelion, watches her with a gaze that promises forbidden desire and sees far beyond the villainess façade.
With the old plotline tearing apart at the seams, the school is plunged into chaos. When noble students are brutally slain and demonic shadows fall over the ancient campus, the blame falls squarely, terrifyingly, on Lumira. The resurrected villainess is the prime suspect, trapped in a terrifying conspiracy driven by a vengeful spirit from the past.
The Blood Moon is rising. Rina, armed with the knowledge of the novel and the dark power of the villainess, must decide: Will she play the doomed role the author wrote for her, or will she seize the power of a queen and rewrite her destiny in fire, blood, and a dangerous romance?
