Glass Fang

I used to believe heroes were symbols of hope. People smiled when they saw them. Children dreamed of becoming them. The world called them saviors. I know better. At seventeen, I attend Duskfall Academy—the most prestigious hero school in the country. I have friends, good grades, and a future that should be bright. To everyone around me, I'm just another student trying to become a hero. It's a lie. Because every smile I wear hides a single truth: I want revenge. And I'm not the only one. Somewhere in the shadows, a villain known only as Nyxshade wages her own war against the heroes. She moves like a ghost, leaving bodies and questions in her wake, tearing apart the foundations of the very society that worships heroes. The world fears her. I don't. Because every time her name appears on the news, every time another hero falls, I can't help but wonder if she's chasing the same answer I am. The truth buried beneath uniforms, medals, and smiling faces. The truth that the heroes are so desperate to keep hidden. As my days at Duskfall Academy continue, the line between hero and villain begins to blur. Friendships are tested, secrets emerge, and the shadows around me grow darker with every passing day. The heroes call Nyxshade a monster. The villains call her a savior. As for me? I don't know what she is. I only know that our paths are leading toward the same destination. And by the time we reach it… this world of heroes may no longer exist.
