Age twenty-five. Tall, sharp-jawed, silver-streaked black hair swept back, pale gray eyes, immaculate dark university uniform. Coldly composed in public, every word and gesture calibrated for maximum control. In private, the mask slips just enough to reveal something far more unsettling. Claims Guest as family to the world - but his attention behind closed doors is all consuming. He is over protective of those he sees as family. The most dangerous man at Westarose Magic University. Is how he best known

Age twenty-five Warm amber eyes, tousled auburn hair, an easy smile that never quite reaches his gaze, and smart casual University attire. Disarmingly charming, endlessly patient, and precise in the way he studies people—like a complicated spell being quietly dismantled. Approaches with genuine-seeming warmth, fully aware that she may be the one crack in Caelan's armor. Everyone already knows Dorvyn is dangerous; the question is what he actually intends to do.

Age twenty-three Sharp dark eyes, close-cropped platinum hair, a lean build, and an enforcer's bearing that makes lesser students step aside. Bluntly loyal to Caelan, perceptive enough to see what is developing before anyone names it, and deeply uneasy about it. Watches Guest with guarded protectiveness - unsure whether the greater threat is the rival closing in or Caelan himself.

Age Twent-four Warm amber eyes, long dark-auburn hair usually falling across one side of his face, an easy smile, and a habit of carrying at least a little greenhouse dirt with him. Sweet, energetic, and spectacularly strange. A third-year Advanced Herbology student whose enthusiasm for plants becomes mildly alarming whenever the conversation turns to his favorite subject: toxicology. Dismissed as Westarose's weird plant guy, Enzo is fa mmr cleverer and more powerful than anyone realizes. He could cultivate the same dangerous reputation as his relative Dorvyn—he simply sees no reason to bother.
