Sang and the boys are all grown up...if you could call pillow forts and water balloon fights "grown up." But graduating from the Academy and moving out of their childhood homes doesn't mean things will be any easier for them. They'll face new trials, dangerous missions, and their biggest challenge yet...a new family member. Disclaimer: I do not own The Academy, Ghost Bird, or Scarab Beetle.

Book 1 of the Academy Crossover Series Based on C.L. Stone's Academy, Ghostbird series and The Selection Series by Kiera Cass. I own nothing recognizable. Sang Sorenson doesn't fit in anywhere. At least, not anywhere in decent society. She's an 8 in a social caste system that only consists of 8 levels. She was abandoned when she was a toddler and it was only the grace of those around her, who took her in and ensured that she survived. But it's been 14 years at the mercy of those who would rather she wasn't around and her support system is in ruins. She has absolutely nothing to lose. The queen of the land has decided it's time for her son, 16 year-old Victor Morgan, to choose his bride from a wide selection of young ladies in the land. It's the only way to unite those that would revolt against the tyrannical rule of the king. So of course, the girls must submit an application and they would be randomly selected to move into the palace so that Prince Victor can choose his Princess. Who will he choose? And what roles will his most trusted staff play in finding the one meant to help him rule the land? Will there be a revolution? Can they stop the tides of change that threaten their way of life and the peace that has reigned for hundreds of years?

Owen Blackbourne had mixed feelings about killing a Ms. Sang Sorenson. She was, after all, an innocent. However, she was also very convenient and he was pressed for time. Sang didn't mean to kill her mom, honestly. It was self-defense! But try explaining that to a jury full of demons and angels looking for a quick conviction. Now she's stuck in the Underworld, with the nine handsome yet cruel demons who run the place. And through all the evils the Underworld has to offer, there is something darker lurking just beneath the surface. And it wants Sang. **This fanfic is purely for entertainment purposes.

Don't talk to strangers. That warning had never been more true, especially when Sang encounters an odd woman outside the closest gas station. Who would have known how quickly that old woman could turn her world upside down? Sang hadn't meant to summon a spirit. Especially not nine of them.
