The Carter Files
Shortlisted for the Wattys 2025! When Eden Devereaux transfers to Phillips Academy for her senior year, she has one goal: to prove herself as an investigative journalist and secure her future in the field. So when the opportunity to be published in The New York Times arises, she sets her sights on a story no one else dares to touch: the recent death of Malia Carter. Malia was sixteen, beloved by the elite Hillside community, and her death-an apparent overdose at a party-left behind more questions than answers. The police ruled it accidental, but the scene told a different story: bloody handprints on the walls, a shattered mirror, and Marcus Carter-Malia's brother-found at the scene, covered in blood. At first, Eden thinks she's chasing a simple exposé. But the deeper she digs, the more tangled the story becomes-grief, guilt, and the lengths people go to protect the ones they love. As secrets unravel, Eden finds herself forced to confront uncomfortable truths: about Malia, about Hillside, and about herself. Her ambition brought her here, but at what cost? Because some stories aren't about answers-they're about what's left unsaid. And sometimes, the truth is the hardest thing to face.Complete

Vantahaven: The Five
Power isn't given. It's taken. For centuries, Blackwell Academy has been more than just a school-it is a proving ground for the most elite magical bloodlines, where power is currency and weakness is a death sentence. At its center stands an unbreakable brotherhood: The Five of Vantahaven. Chosen heirs of the most formidable bloodlines, bound by an ancient Covenant that grants them extraordinary abilities-at a price. But when one of them is found dead under mysterious circumstances, the fragile balance of their world begins to unravel. Dark whispers of betrayal seep through the academy's shadowed corridors, and the remaining four must navigate a web of deception, hidden rituals, and a history written in blood. As they search for the truth, they uncover something far more terrifying than a murderer in their midst-the Covenant is cracking. The magic that has sustained their power for generations is no longer stable, and breaking it may unleash something far worse than death. Loyalties will be tested. Secrets will come to light. And in Blackwell Academy, the truth is far deadlier than the lies that protect it. Because the Five were never meant to remain five. They were always meant to fall.![Chiara [PUBLISHED] ✔️](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/260010886-256-k734027.jpg)
