Violet Peters was ecstatic to get a full scholarship to her dream school, Hyde University, and accepted before she even saw the campus. It wasn't until she got there that she learned the school was stranger than she thought and that she is currently the only human student. Her roommate is a vampire, the librarian is a dragon, and some inhabitants aren't anything she's ever heard of. Trying to learn the truth of a reality she had no idea existed, it takes a little time to realize how unpopular humans are here. A couple near-death experiences later, and Violet is forced to conclude someone wants her gone, no matter what it takes. Caught in a web beyond her understanding, Violet finds herself a pawn to forces out of her control. But even a pawn can checkmate a king.
