Cruel Magic

It turns out Persephone Bloodstone, the long lost heir to one of the five royal families of dark magic. Destined to learn how to manipulate the world with fear and to stand beside the four other scions: the scorching-hot, arrogant young men who rule this school. Unfortunately, having trouble locating my supposedly wicked skills. I don't want to use a power that feeds off people's pain, but I have to tap into my talents fast if I want to survive. I've got no time to grieve for my family. The students here are even more vicious than the teachers, and my fellow scions are worst of all. The four of them crush anyone who doesn't kowtow. No way will I bow to any villain, no matter how brutally alluring. They can turn on the charm or tear me down, but they can't break me, even if I can barely get my magic working. They've never met anyone like me before. I don't care about ruling. I just want to avenge the people I loved.
