Darkling Academy only has two rules. Number one; don't die on the first day. Number two; try not to die over the next three hundred and sixty five days.
Hayden Mikkelsen, a seventeen year old, already had enough to deal with as a teenager with a supernatural gift that she knows nothing about, but after she finds a mysterious app on her phone, her world is thrown into chaos as she stumbles across a hidden academy full of elves, witches and vampires.
You know, just all the things that could kill you without even trying.
And to top it all off, people from her home town, including her one of her best friends, have gone missing without any trace of where they could be.
Will Hayden be able to find them, whilst also trying to survive at her new school?

Blood of the Hearth
Everyone outside these walls believe life at the Academy is perfect, but we know the truth. Within these walls shadows come to life and teen drama can turn deadly if taken too far.

That is until I'm dragged into the spotlight by the most notorious guy in my year and his circle of delinquents at the beginning of my sophomore year. {Okay so I know this blurb isn't good at all but I swear it's more interesting than this I just don't know what to write that doesn't have major spoilers sorry!} Make sure to READ THE PREFACE for content warnings, I don't want to see any comments saying there weren't any warnings.
