The Wraith’s Scholarship
When 19-year-old Adaeze Nwosu receives a full-ride scholarship to a prestigious university, or so she thought, Edevane Academy, she can’t believe her luck. Hidden in the misty hills of Wales, Edevane isn’t just elite, it’s a complete mystery. No website. No alumni. Just a single email, a plane ticket, and a warning: Don’t be late.
But the moment Adaeze steps onto campus grounds, she realizes something is wrong. The professors never show their faces. The buildings shift when no one is looking. And at the end of every semester, one student vanishes, erased from all memories like they never existed.
As Adaeze delves deeper into Edevane’s cursed history, she uncovers a deadly secret: the school was founded on an ancient pact with a council of wraiths, restless spirits who feed on genius, sacrifice, and fear. Now they’ve set their eyes on her.
To survive, Adaeze must align herself with a dangerous circle of misfit scholars, decode cryptic texts, and confront the truth about her own bloodline. Because at Edevane, knowledge isn’t power, it’s bait.
And the only way to win the game... is to outsmart the dead.
