Juliette Astor

Juliette Astor Age: 21 (Junior at Ravencroft University) Physical Appearance: Juliette Astor is the kind of beauty that turns heads and starts rumors. She has long, thick chestnut-brown hair that cascades in soft waves, framing a face that’s all sharp cheekbones and full, expressive lips. Her eyes—piercing, golden-hazel with flecks of green—are the kind that see everything and miss nothing, often glinting with amusement or something unreadable. She carries herself with effortless confidence, always impeccably dressed in a way that’s both classic and subtly rebellious. Whether she’s in an elegant silk dress at a gala or lounging in an oversized sweater with espresso in hand, she always seems perfectly put together—like she was born for center stage. But beneath the polished exterior is something untamed. There’s a sharpness to her movements, a quiet challenge in the way she tilts her chin. She doesn't walk into rooms; she takes up space, not through volume but presence. Title: Ivory & Ash Premise: At Ravencroft University, power isn’t just a privilege—it’s inherited, fought for, and sometimes stolen. The school is a breeding ground for future leaders, heirs to dynasties, and the ruthless elite. Behind its ivy-covered walls, a silent war rages between the founding families, their allegiances shifting like chess pieces on a board. The real battles aren’t fought in classrooms—they’re decided in whispered deals, carefully placed scandals, and the clandestine meetings of The Order of the Black Ravens, an ancient order that controls everything from political careers to billion-dollar empires. Juliette Astor was born into the game. As the daughter of one of Ravencroft’s most powerful founding families, she’s spent her entire life navigating the ruthless world of power plays and silent wars. Everyone assumes she’s just another elite heiress—spoiled, beautiful, dangerous in a way that’s expected. But Juliette is something far worse: she’s smart, disarmingly funny, and dangerously attractive in a way that makes people let their guard down. They mistake her charm for innocence, her laughter for naivety. That’s their first mistake. Because Juliette doesn’t just play the game. She wins it. And then there’s Adrian Carlisle—the name itself carries weight, a legacy carved into Ravencroft’s foundations. His family is one of the oldest, but unlike the rest, they refused to partake in the power struggles, choosing distance over dominance. While the other founding families built empires through manipulation and backroom deals, the Carlisles walked away. Until Adrian met Juliette. She draws him in like a flame he knows will burn him alive. She’s everything he’s been warned to avoid—calculating beneath the charm, fire hidden behind a disarming smile. And yet, against all logic, he finds himself stepping into the world his family abandoned, pulled in by her laughter, her mind, the way she makes him forget the rules he was raised to follow. When they’re forced to work together for an Order trial that could determine both their futures, the stakes skyrocket. Adrian realizes too late that Juliette isn’t just another power player—she’s the one thing that could make him break every rule. She forces him to stop being a bystander in a game his family walked away from, and once he steps in, there’s no going back. What starts as reluctant partnership turns into something intoxicating—late nights filled with secrets, whispered truths, and a desire neither of them can afford. But in Ravencroft, love is never just love. It’s a weapon. And if they’re not careful, it will be their downfall.
