A school with no mirrors. A girl without a voice. A summer of sacred obedience.
In the haunting silence of Bellveil—a secret finishing school perched above cliffs and salt-ridden shrines—Seraphine Vale returns for a summer she didn’t ask for. No boys. No Circle. No god watching through the glass. Just girls. Silent, veiled, ritual-bound girls who speak in ribbons and kneel in sand.
After the brutal rites of Blackwood Academy left her fractured but crowned, Seraphine expects peace. What she finds is a new kind of power—femininity bound not in softness, but in sacred rules. Obedience. Silence. Pleasure. Denial. And beneath it all, one girl who sees her not as a queen, not as a monster—but as someone worth touching.
In Bellveil, girls are chosen to serve.
But Seraphine has never been good at kneeling for anyone but herself.
From the bestselling author of Semester of Obsession and Summer of Devotion, this dark, psychological, and deeply erotic F/F romance continues the Blackwood Academy series with a standalone summer arc full of:
- Dominant sapphic rituals

- A slow-burn F/F romance wrapped in sacred silence
- A finishing school where obedience is worshipped and earned
This book is written for mature readers who crave dark themes, sacred eroticism, and girls who take—and give—power in equal measure.
In the end, she will not beg to be chosen. She will choose herself.
