The Boy Who Smiled Too Easily

Welcome to Blackthrone University

🖤 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍

Darkness does not always look terrifying.

Sometimes-

it smiles sweetly at you.

Blackthorne University is the most powerful magical academy in the kingdom, filled with ancient secrets, forbidden magic, mysterious tunnels, and dangerous students hiding behind beautiful faces.

When Xavier Vale enters the university as a transfer student, everyone sees him as charming, funny, and harmless.

But Xavier did not come to Blackthorne to study.

He came for revenge.

Yet somewhere between fake smiles, magical chaos, jealousy, friendship, and unexpected love-

his heart begins betraying him.

And in a place where nobody is truly innocent...

falling in love may become the deadliest mistake of all.
