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

For a long moment, all I could do was stare down at the chocolate and then back at Richard’s stone-cold face before glancing back down at the chocolate again. 


Richard was just sneering at me, his chin held high so he could glower down at me. 


After I finally recovered from my shock, I bent down to pick up the chocolate, wiping off some dust that had gotten on top of it. “How could you do that?” I asked, hearing the anger and shock in my voice. “This was a gift. You can’t just treat it like that.”


Richard was unfazed by my words. He just looked hatefully at the innocent box in my hands. “I hate chocolate more than anything else,” he spat.


My jaw dropped before my eyes narrowed. “Well, there was no way for my friend to know that,” I snapped. I shook the box in his face. “She was just trying to send you a nice gesture because she admires you. The least you could do is accept the gift gracefully.”
