Born to be a legacy, I was meant to lead-until my powers never manifested. My parents called me a failure, a pawn to marry off for their schemes. So, I ran. I left behind everything: my fated mates, the academy where future leaders of Ostania are forged, and the destiny that demanded my obedience. For three years, I've lived in the shadows, trying to survive. But now, I got dragged back to the academy, my duties, and the dangerous games of power and survival. Life and death are daily lessons here. My fated mates despise me, my enemies want me dead, and everyone thinks I'm broken. A girl with no powers. But they can't know the truth. My powers are a secret I must protect at all costs. *this is a why choose/reverse harem book where the FMC ends up with more than one partner *this story is a work of fiction *this book will contain smut (later in the story)

Penelope Blake is a classically trained guitarist with a spotless resume and zero interest in becoming a rockstar. But when she's offered an obscene paycheck to join the world's biggest pop punk band as their new rhythm guitarist, she says yes-thinking it's just a temporary gig. Ashes After Midnight: global legends, inked disasters, and every alt girl's dirtiest dream. They didn't want a new bandmate. They definitely didn't want her-polished, pretty, and painfully out of place. But now she's in their world. And they can't stop watching her. Not when she plays. Not when she moans. Not when she starts to unravel. The frontman taunts her like foreplay. The drummer dares her to misbehave. The bassist never speaks-but his stare burns. And the guitarist? He touches her like she's the only song he still believes in. But this isn't just music. This band made a deal with something dark-something that's coming back to collect. And Penelope might be the only thing standing between them and damnation. Enemies. Lovers. Monsters. Dark Romance. Welcome to the tour from hell.

Hadley Jamison doesn't know what to think when she hears that her classmate, Archer Morales, committed suicide. She didn't exactly know him, but that doesn't stop her from feeling like there was something she could have done to help him. So to Hadley's surprise, on the very night of Archer's funeral, she has a run in with Death himself and is offered the chance to go back in time to stop Archer from ending his life. The catch? She only has twenty-seven days to do it. And if Hadley doesn't succeed? Well, she doesn't want to think about that.
