I write dark academia fantasy in French - this is where I let it speak English.

ARCADIUM: an academy for the finest bloodlines of the world - vampires, demons, witches, gods. One mortal admitted per year. This year it's a sixteen-year-old orphan from the frozen north with a bow, a wolf pelt, and no magic whatsoever. Nobody has told her why she was chosen.

Bent fairy tales, badly behaved gods, slow burn. Posting a few chapters in English. Tell me what you think.

And if you have a moment after reading, I'd love a review. Not necessarily a kind one, an honest one. Did the first chapter make you want to keep going? Did you care about Ombre? Was there a point where you drifted? That's the kind of thing I can actually use.

Thank you for reading. It means more than you'd think. <3
