Blood-Bound Spirits

This story follows Salem Elmswood, a 17 year old 5'7 boy who deals with domestic abuse. While Caney (Salems 22 year old alcoholic brother) is somewhat good to him, their father only hurts and yells at Salem, causing him to sneak away to an Assassin's Academy each day when he should be at school. This is when Ripley Shadowvale (A 19 year old 6'1 boy) comes to haunt Salems days with constant bullying and mockery. While trying his best to be an outstanding assassin, and trying to link with a spirit animal, Salem must learn to handle the fact that no matter where he goes, someone will always put him down. Will Salem be able to be the best he can be, achieving not only the Assassin's Honors Award, and linking with a powerful spirit animal, but also figuring out how to make this absolutely hot bully stop his devilous act?
