Eclipse Academy is a hidden, town‑sized institution tucked somewhere in North America, founded in the aftermath of the Victorian‑era Shadow War and sealed under the Eclipse Treaty. At its core stand the Night Wardens, the academy’s elite guardians. They train supernatural students to police their own world, uphold the Veil, and protect mortals from supernatural threats. Zayne Ambrose is the anomaly the academy never prepared for — a rare hybrid of both bloodlines, carrying stolen light and devouring shadow in the same body. Students whisper, staff keep their distance, and the old order watches him like a fault line ready to split. His existence threatens the balance the academy was built to preserve.
