Esmerelda Rosewood spends 17 years running away from her nightmare home. Entering Sunset School marks a new start to her life, and she enjoys everything on campus except the weird class schedule.
The campus is divided into day school and night school. Esmerelda, who is assigned to night school, has to adapt to the late schedule and strange classmates. They always stare at her like lions staring at sheep.  
But Esmerelda doesn’t care about that. She meets a boy named Elijah in night school. He is like moonlight illuminating her dark life, and she enjoys every minute spent with him. 
One day, a new transfer student rushes into night school and strikes students there. Finally, Esmerelda discovers the unknown side of her classmates: elegant and gentle but also cruel, fierce, and bloodthirsty.
That includes Elijah.
What should Esmerelda do? Return back to a normal but peaceful life, or stay in the dark with Elijah? It is the most difficult choice Esmerelda has ever made.

The Only Girl at Night Academy

It felt like a complete miracle when the security guard, as soon as he realized it was Elijah who was trying to stop the gate from closing, actually stepped aside and made the gate open up. It creaked in an even more friendly sound that was higher pitched, almost as if it was apologizing for closing so suddenly in the first place. 


Elijah and I walked through the gate together. I almost passed out from relief when I was on the other side. I turned to face him, clasping my hands together in gratitude. “Thank you for helping me,” I said. “Both for saving me from the bats and for helping me get through the gate. I’ll see you in class tomorrow.” 


Elijah’s expression was unreadable, but it was intense as he stared down at me. “I would appreciate it if you allowed me to personally escort you to your dorm,” he said. The way he phrased it didn’t sound like he was asking. The gate had already shut behind him, so he seemed intent on coming with me.
