Nightfall Academy

The freshman’s body hit the banquet table, still warm, as Ivy Kline felt a black-robed hand close around her throat. Then the midnight bell rang—and she was back at the academy gates, holding the same admission card, with no one remembering the murder. Every six hours, another student dies, and only the lowborn alchemy apprentice remembers the bloodshed. The arrogant noble heir forgets her each time, yet his body keeps saving her before she can fall—while the professor’s assistant guards a forbidden key and dies every third loop. By the seventh reset, Ivy uncovers the truth: the loop isn’t meant to save the victims, but to protect an expelled genius who controls the academy’s magical barrier. Before midnight comes again, Ivy must expose the killer, break the spell, and decide whether to trust the noble heir whose heart remembers her—or sacrifice everyone to escape the night.
