Half City (Harker Academy Book 1)

Viv Abbot lives a fractured life, balancing the mundane struggles of an expensive city with the lethal, solitary burden of a demon hunter. Haunted by her father’s unsolved murder and alienated by a family that refuses to acknowledge her true nature, Viv exists on the periphery until a chance encounter alters her trajectory. Reid Graveheart, a dangerously alluring reformed demon, offers her an escape: Harker Academy for Deviant Defense.

At this elite institution, Viv finally finds a place where her skills are not just tolerated, but essential. However, the academy is a crucible of hidden agendas and shifting loyalties. As Viv attempts to integrate into this high-stakes environment, she harbors a volatile secret that could destroy her new life if exposed.

The tension escalates when unexplained occurrences begin to threaten the student body, forcing Viv to navigate a treacherous web of mystery. Caught between the desire for belonging and the instinct to remain guarded, she must decipher the truth behind her father’s death while resisting an undeniable, forbidden attraction to the one person she should trust the least. In the halls of Harker, survival requires more than just sharp daggers; it demands the strength to confront the darkness both outside and within.
