Official book guide
What is Study in Scarlett about?
Scarlett comes from the Sectors with tactical intelligence, a refusal to perform obedience, and no intention of being grateful when she is taken to the Obsidian Marrow.
Study in Scarlett begins a complete four-book dark-academy why-choose romance built from living oaths, ancient magic, cruel heirs, and the institutional violence of an academy designed to preserve inherited power.
People and creatures
Scarlett is a resourceful Null from the impoverished Sectors, apparently without magic in a world that prizes it. Her circle includes Draven, a Shadow-Wolf Alpha; Syth, an ancient naga living within the mountain; and Lysander Frostwoven, the frost-wielding Fae heir.
World and setting
A secondary fantasy world where magic determines rank. The Obsidian Marrow academy sits inside a mountain, above older powers, with founding families and blood oaths controlling access to power.

Scarlett must survive an academy that treats her as disposable and discover why powerful figures want the apparently powerless girl under their control.
