THE COLORS OF RUIN

Welcome to Stellridge: where dark academia meets forbidden magic, secrets are layered into melodies, and romance smolders within enchanted canvases.

Diana Morelli has come to Stellridge Academy for one reason: revenge.

When her mother, an acclaimed magical Artist and youngest ever Arch-Magister of Stellridge, fell to her death inside her own painting, the school called it an accident. Diana calls it murder.

Now the man she believes responsible is closer than ever, ruling the Academy in her mother’s stead. A usurper.

But revenge is never simple. Tristan Fortier is a brilliant violinist, a childhood nemesis, and the son of her enemy. When his twin sister vanishes without a trace, Diana is pulled into a dangerous, reluctant alliance. He wants answers. She wants justice.

Their search soon draws them into the heart of Stellridge’s secret societies, revealing a pattern of missing students stretching back generations. But the truth is more sinister still. Something or someone within the Art is watching, calling to Diana.

As secrets, memory, and obsession blur, Diana must decide how far she is willing to go for the truth. Because when magic is sung in pigment and danced from stone, even the smallest mistake can be deadly–and giving her heart to it may be the most ruinous choice of all.
