Avaryn Alastors life couldn't possibly get any worse. 

That's what she told herself the second her feet crossed the threshold of Crestwood Academy. But boy, was she wrong. 

She'd never wanted to attend the most prestigious stuck-up school only made for the rich and the smart. She'd never even wanted to apply. But tragedy struck her family and it had always been her moms dream. 

The first day she's there she makes a fool out of herself in front of the most popular group in all of Crestwood. And to make matters worse one of them is her roommate!

They call themselves the Devara. (Stupid, she knows). 

And yet she can't help but feel drawn to them. Drawn to everything about them. 

So Avaryn does what she does best, she investigates. Only what she finds is a whole other dangerous world. A world of secrets and pain and even magic. 

The Devara is supernatural. They come from a whole other world. Not only that but they are heirs to this world. They are royalty. 

And with royalty comes enemies ...

And now these enemies want Avaryn. 

And the only way she'll survive is sticking with the Devara. 

That is ... 

If she doesn't kill them first. 

Mystery, romance, death, lies. A plot twist you won't see coming.

She had it all - riches, a college scholarship, a girlfriend - until her conservative, hyper-religious parents found out about the girlfriend and made her choose between conversion therapy and disownment. That was the end of her academic career. Three years later, she met a shy public reference librarian in a bookstore. He'd been waiting his whole life for her. Meanwhile, she was starting her whole life over. What ensued between the two was magic... Given that he was about to become her tutor in the magickal and erotic arts, that was only to be expected. But at what cost? The mysterious older man was all she could ever have wished for, but she might need to choose between her developing identity and the most profound love she had ever known. ════════════════════════════════════ "Magic and philosophy sandwiched in between some of the hottest scenes I've read in recent years...

Ellemoore Academia  by rosesaregrimy
17 parts Ongoing Mature
For centuries, Ellerysium thrived, guarded by ten ancient crystals, each pulsing with unimaginable power. Entrusted to Elara, immortal guardian and daughter of Ellemoore Academia's founder, peace was once a promise. But peace never lasts forever. Her sister, Seraphina, once beloved by the people, betrayed them all. She stole four crystals, Emberstone, Thunderheart Amethyst, Luminescent Opal, and the Eclipsium Prism, and vanished into the shadows. In time, she forged her own kingdom: Aetheria. With her army of loyal followers, the Hallows, Seraphina declared war. She even performed a forbidden ritual, summoning the Dark Ascendant, a monstrous force meant to tip the scales in her favor. But Elara, at great cost, defeated it. Ellerysium splintered. The world divided. Now, with the conflict on the brink of chaos, Ellemoore Academia begins preparing its next defenders. Seven students. Diana, Blake, Dave, Xylon, Lexi, Sophia, and Savanna, are chosen to join the elite Warrior Angels. What once felt like training, rivalry, and friendship soon spirals into something far more dangerous. Secrets buried in legend begin to resurface. Loyalties will be tested. And as their first mission looms... one thing becomes painfully clear: This isn't just about a kingdom. It's about the truths they were never told. The choices that will define them. And the sacrifices they'll be forced to make. Because in a world built on magic, betrayal, and destiny, some will rise... and others will fall.

My Beloved Kitsune by WendyyWolfe
31 parts Complete
Belicia Brooks grew up in a loving, but mundane home. As an only child Belicia didn't take well to abstract events or drama and anything that upset her routine lifestyle was strictly prohibited. By her. But a secret lurked within her family. A family ancestry she knew nothing about and powers she was born with would soon surface, bringing with it a kind of chaos she never imagined. The new guy in her school wasn't like anyone she had ever known. His presence sparked things in Belicia she'd had yet to experience. Like turmoil. And confusion. And, telepathy? Thankfully, she had her best friend Ava Avila to confide in. But would Ava be on her side, or, as Ava was known for loving gossip and drama, could Belicia trust her enough to tell her about her inner dialogue with the new guy? ___________________ An ancient family secret is about to be exposed. In the unsuspecting suburb of Kingsley Summit, Washington, the local high school becomes a battleground of wills when it is discovered the fated mate of a powerful Kitsune family lives in the United States of America. She doesn't realize it but Belicia is about to become the reason two families clash in a medieval tale of jealousy and revenge when a tale as old as time comes to life. When the Zenko Clan, an ancient family of Kitsune is alerted that their sons fated mate is in peril of being lost to them by the Yako Clan, the contest of wits begins, to see who will capture her heart first. The only catch is, neither can reveal the true identity of the other. The battle must be won while in their human form. As the two families of Shape-Shifters clash, only one can come away victorious.
