The Valentine’s Masquerade is not a Vagastrom idea—everyone knows that. Which makes it even stranger that Darkwick Academy’s grand ballroom is glowing in crimson light, chandeliers dripping with ribbons, roses, and forbidden romance.

Attendance is mandatory. Masks are required. Identities are strictly concealed.

Vagastrom students don’t usually bother with elegance, but tonight is different.

Behind a mask of your own, you meet him. A slow dance turns into whispered confessions. Teasing banter slips into vulnerable truths...

For one night, names don’t matter—only the way he looks at you like you’re the only thing anchoring him in the room.

You fall in love with someone you’re not supposed to recognize... But the masquerade doesn’t last forever.

When the clock strikes midnight, masks must come off. And when the truth is revealed—that the person you trusted with your heart is a Vagastrom delinquent, feared, rumored, dangerous—it threatens to tear everything apart.

Worse still...

What if he realizes you were the one behind the mask he can’t forget?

Tonight was meant to be a fantasy. Tomorrow, Darkwick returns to reality.

And Vagastrom boys are not known for letting go of what they want.
