❝THE NIGHT BELONGS TO THE THE MAD, THE FORGOTTEN, AND THE DEAD.❞
Kora James is a witch and a bartender. Not necessarily in that order.
With her skilled hands, she delivers liquid ecstasy to her customers.
Her duties as a magical being and a member of the 6th Circle, are quickly dismissed and disregarded.
But strange dreams haunt the mind of the young witch. Dreams of the old days and an even, older, darker creature.

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.Complete

The Sorcerer's Apprentice
A world where magic must be hidden from mankind is a world where mages have no reason to exist. Zara was one of them--a young woman forced to spend her days in confinement, to lessen the risks of outsiders discovering the truth. She was not human. She was, as they say, a living embodiment of a thousand year old curse upon the Kingdom and humanity as a whole. And the only way to handle a curse, is to get rid of it--which is precisely what the Kingdom has proceeded in doing for centuries--eliminating any being that contained even an ounce of enchanted blood. Zara's lived most of her life with the threat of death hanging over her head. Though this never averted her heightening curiosity about magic, nor the abilities innate within her. And when a powerful, enigmatic Sorcerer comes to her with a proposition, Zara finally sees her chance to embrace the curse she was born with. It was a chance laced with precarity and destruction, but a chance nonetheless...
