Grave Intentions

A death mage. A bonebinder. A dorm full of blood.

Ivy Hawthorne didn't come to Veilkeeper Academy to be a hero. She came to blend in-just a scholarship girl with no flashy powers, a medical background, and one inconvenient, arcane gift: Bonebinding.

Her job? Keep Lucien Ackerman-the last living necromancer and Veilkeeper's most volatile professor-from slipping into magical madness. No big deal. Except now someone's breaking through the school's enchanted wards, cursed artifacts are going missing, and a bleeding Necro-agent just collapsed in Ivy's dorm.And the worst part?

Lucien's power is spiraling. His moods are unpredictable. And he's starting to look at Ivy like she's more than just his tether to sanity.

In a school full of magical prodigies, cursed relics, and whispered conspiracies, Ivy must untangle a deadly mystery before someone silences her for good. With snarky best friends, secret pining, and supernatural clues, Ivy's about to learn that surviving Veilkeeper requires more than spellwork-it demands bone-deep courage.
