In a world ruled by supernatural elites, The Academy of Sin is where power, privilege, and danger collide. Everyone knows the academy is no ordinary school-it's a proving ground for the strongest and most dangerous supernatural beings. But when Kaia Winters receives an invitation to attend, she discovers she isn't there to learn. She's there to survive. Kaia is part of a secret experiment, designed to harness the raw power of forbidden magic. Her abilities are rare and uncontrollable, and if the academy's leaders have their way, she'll either be the weapon that wins them the war-or the casualty that proves their theory wrong. Assigned to four powerful partners, each with their own dark agendas, Kaia must learn to navigate the treacherous halls of the academy. There's Alec, the brooding demon with a sinful grin and a taste for chaos. Gabriel, the angel whose icy exterior hides a burning rage. Ryder, the shapeshifter with a devil-may-care attitude and a knack for secrets. And Silas, the necromancer who sees more in the shadows than he lets on. But as Kaia unravels the mysteries of the academy, she discovers that her partners aren't just allies-they may be the only ones who can keep her alive. And as tensions rise, so does the temptation. Trusting them could cost her everything, but falling for them? That could be the deadliest sin of all.

Finding out that your parents, the people that raised you your whole life, weren't your actual parents was hard. Being told at the ripe ol' age of eighteen that you're the last living member from an Ancient Shifter line, the one responsible for creating the First Shifters, was inconceivable. Especially when a group of assassins were on their way to exterminate me simply for just existing. Kidnapped from my bed by three extremely stunning and grumpy Alphas, and forced to attend a special Shifter University located in the middle of nowhere, I have to navigate an unfamiliar and unknown secreted world while simultaneously trying avoiding those who want to use my lineage to enact an age-old curse. Join Nova Nyx as she's dragged into a world full of Shifters, Secrets, and Startling Surprises. ~~~ "Mates?" I repeated owlishly, blinking rapidly at the one worded bomb they just dropped on me "What are Mates?" Instead of answering my question, they just stared back at me in silence, arms crossed over their broad chests. I ignored their silence, choosing to focus on second part of their sentence. "And you're telling me I have three of them?" I gawked "How many are you supposed to get? I can barely handle myself and my life at this point and you want me to worry about three other people?" Of course the most annoying man I've ever met smirked at my bafflement. "I don't think it'll be such a hardship for you" he said, arrogance lacing his tone "After all, I hear these three Mates of yours are very self-sufficient." "Don't forget extremely gorgeous" his Buffon of a friend chimed in, winking at me "That's a plus for you Princess." "One," the third one growled out at me, finally speaking up and adding subsistence to the conversation, startling the banter from the other two "You're only supposed to be blessed with one Mate in your entire lifetime."

Aries: "I rest my elbow on the glass and lean down, looking past the crowds of people. Humans. Werewolves. Even other creatures by the looks of it. It wasn't like they never visited the club before. So why this restlessness? What was it that I was looking for amongst this sea of creatures? I scan the crowd in hopes that my raging heart would eventually calm down when I prove it that there was nothing to be anxious about. But it does the exact opposite. It drums in my ears and deafens me. I could hear nothing else. Just the beat of my dramatical heart. Telling me something. My desperate eyes scans the crowd downstairs, the centre of the dance floor. The bar. The entrance. The-" She's dark. She's deadly. But she is a goddess. Book 3 of Althea series
