This wasn't exactly the plan, but it gets her one step closer to eliminating the royal houses and avenging her parents deaths. Forced to Havenhurst under the watchful eye of the heirs Amaris "Deirdre" Mistwood must find a way to survive while trying to keep her true identity secret. She has a mission to complete but complicated feelings for the four men she's supposed to kill begin to get in the way. Add in the unraveling secrets that could change the world as they know it and the increasing possibility that she's the only one that can save it and she's feeling way out of her depth. She's a killer, it's literally in her job description. Saving people was never her strong suit, just ask her parents. They always say you can't teach an old Fae new tricks.

The Scattered Heir
Nocturna Academy is the most prestigious university for supernaturals - a place where every race, from vampires and werewolves to fae, witches, warlocks, empaths, and hybrids, comes to prepare for the roles they will one day claim in their own communities. Royals, diplomats, and leaders of every kind have walked its enchanted halls. One student, however, has lingered longer than most. Seraphine Ashbourne, the youngest daughter of a royal vampire dynasty, has spent a decade within Nocturna's walls. Officially, she is here to learn. In truth, the academy is her family's cage - a place to keep her hidden, out of sight and out of mind. Something stirs within her, something her family fears, and until they can control it, she is not allowed to claim her place at court. Seraphine herself does not know the true reason she is kept here. What she does know is that her family demands perfection: strict discipline, flawless poise, and an obedience that clashes with her untamable spirit. Now, in her tenth year, Seraphine begins yet another cycle of studies. She repeated her first year once, then completed the curriculum in full - twice - only to be denied her title again and again. Frustrated, grieving, and restless, she enters this new year with little hope. But the academy is changing. New professors watch her closely, some determined to protect her, others to test her. Two of them, however, see her differently - not just as a student or an heir, but as someone they cannot help but be drawn to. Their attention is dangerous, forbidden, and intoxicating. And Seraphine, for the first time in her long years at Nocturna, finds herself unwilling to resist. She will not choose between them. She will not deny herself the connection they offer. Whispers gather in the halls, rumors cling to her name, and the weight of her legacy presses heavier than ever. Seraphine Ashbourne is more than her family's secret. Whether they allow it or not, the Scattered Heir is about to awaken.
Eldryn Academy and the Games of Destiny
#1 in witches and wizards 🌊"When shadows rise and kingdoms tremble, it takes more than magic to stand unbroken-it takes the courage to become who you were always meant to be."🌊 This is the third book of the Eldryn Academy series. Mira's world is unraveling, and this time, survival isn't enough. As she enters her third year at Eldryn Academy, Mira is no longer the uncertain girl who stumbled through magic she didn't understand. She's become a force to be reckoned with-powerful, feared, and marked by destiny itself. But power has made her a target, and the academy's hallowed halls now feel more like a battleground than a sanctuary. Games of Destiny has begun, and ancient forces long thought extinct are awakening with a hunger that threatens to consume everything Mira has fought to protect. But these forces don't just seek her magic, they're targeting everything she holds dear. The friendships she's built, the love she's found, the new world she's finally learned to call home-all of it hangs by a thread as darkness spreads from the Elemental Forests and reaches into the heart of the academy itself. The bonds she forged are under siege. Void magic seeps into the cracks of trust, turning friends against each other and twisting love into weaponized doubt. The power within her is growing-wild, untamed, and terrifyingly potent. But the void forces know that breaking her spirit matters more than breaking her magic. As enemies close in to tear apart her world piece by piece, she must answer the question that has haunted her since the beginning: Can she protect both true forces of Elemental power and her heart, or will she be forced to sacrifice one to save the other? ❤️💫 Return to a world where magic demands everything, love defies fate, and one girl must defend not just her power, but every precious bond that makes her whole.💫❤️
Unbound Relic
They chained her underground for a thousand years. Waking up was never part of the plan. She was the kingdom of Aethermoor's most dangerous secret-a girl with power so catastrophic that the Seven Throne Council chose eternal imprisonment over execution. Bound in unbreakable chains and sealed beneath cursed earth, her name was erased from history. For a thousand years, she slept in darkness. Then she woke up in a high school classroom. The chains are gone. Her magical world is gone. Instead, she finds herself trapped in the body of Ione Castellan, a seventeen-year-old loner who died four days ago. The face staring back at her in the mirror is foreign-soft ash-gray hair and gentle doe-like eyes in a striking jeweled lilac shade. This fragile body feels nothing like the warrior she once was. This world has no magic. But it has something worse: monsters that look human. Through Ione's fractured memories, she learns about Ashcroft-a city drowning in unsolved murders and serial killings. Bodies appear in alleyways carved with symbols she recognizes. Ancient symbols. From her world. Navigating high school is bewildering enough-what is "Wi-Fi"? Why do people stare at glowing rectangles all day?-but her old powers are awakening, causing lights to flicker and electronics to explode when her emotions spike. Worse, she's seeing things others can't: shadows that move with intent, and runes that shouldn't exist in this magic-less world. In a city of serial killers and ancient magic, the girl who should have stayed buried might be the only one who can stop what's coming.
Curse of the Astralis
On a cold winter night, beneath a sky heavy with swirling snowflakes, I arrived at the gates of my new school-an ancient fortress of stone and magic. The torches lining the grand staircase flickered in the wind, casting eerie shadows along the castle walls. This was no ordinary academy; it was a place where the most gifted wielders of magic trained, a school of legacy and power. As I stepped inside, the air buzzed with enchantment, the echoes of centuries past whispering through the halls. Here, knowledge was a weapon, secrets were currency, and danger lurked beneath the surface. I had come to make my mark, to claim my place in a world where my family's name carried both prestige and expectation. But I was not alone in my arrival-some had been waiting for me. Some welcomed me, others watched from the shadows. This was the beginning of something far greater than I could have imagined.
