A lifetime ago, Valya had been an influential courtier, a renowned escort, and a man in love. That life ended with a betrayal and an inescapable curse. So his expectations for this new one were very low. But a university holds more than books and paper. Awaiting him are an all-too-nosy healer, a shapeshifter with amnesia, a headmaster in a tenuous position, and a training-obsessed athlete who just really, really wants his team to win for once. How much trouble can a bunch of students get into? Plenty, especially when the one who cursed Valya in the first place decides to join the fray. And this time, it won't end with just a curse. Welcome to the university!
