In a world where dragons no longer soar and magic has faded into myth, Nightfall Academy stands as a brutal training ground for those destined to kill-or be killed. When eighteen-year-old Elena is forced into its deadly halls, she's prepared for danger, but not for the forbidden gift she discovers within herself: the ability to speak mind-to-mind with another soul, a power outlawed generations ago.
This rare bond marks her as part of an ancient prophecy, linking her to a soul she can sense but can't yet fully understand-a dark, magnetic presence that draws her closer with every whisper of her mind. The two of them are said to be fated mates, their connection capable of awakening lost magic...or unleashing the world's destruction.
As desire and destiny collide, Elena finds herself torn between a passion that defies all reason and the brutal trials of an academy filled with secrets. In a game where love is as dangerous as the blade, will she risk everything for a bond she can't escape? Or will she protect her heart, even if it means sacrificing the magic she never knew she held?

The Soul's Calling (A Fantasy Romance)
◆BOOK I OF 'THE CALLING' SERIES◆ Harriet Summers has always believed in soulmates-the kind that ignite fireworks and make the world sharper, brighter, and full of meaning. But reality? It's nothing like the stories she's clung to. Fresh out of high school and stuck in a life that feels like an old, faded photograph, she longs for something more. Then, Morgana Ravenspell Academy calls. A world where vampires rule the night, cat shifters prowl, and mermaids whisper secrets beneath moonlit waters. Magic crackles in the air, but Harriet's focus doesn't waver-her soulmate is out there, the missing piece that can steady her unraveling powers. But fate has other plans. Because the one person who challenges her, infuriates her, and sets her world ablaze isn't the soulmate she expected. And when an ancient darkness rises, threatening to tear everything apart, Harriet must make an impossible choice: her best friend or her destined love? ************************************* Nicholas Sinclairley is a force of nature, sharp, untouchable, and dangerously in control. Power bends at his will, and emotions? They're nothing more than a liability. He's spent his life mastering the art of distance. Then she crashes into his world. Harriet Summers. Reckless. Stubborn. A walking contradiction wrapped in magic and chaos. She's hunting for her soulmate, convinced it's someone else. But Nicholas knows better. The pull between them isn't ordinary-it's wildfire, and every moment with her threatens to burn through the ice he's carefully built around himself. As the shadow of a 1000-year-old enemy looms closer, Nicholas is forced to make a choice of his own: fight for Harriet's heart or let her go before love destroys them both. Because for the first time in his life, power isn't enough. And losing her might mean losing himself. --------------------------------------- This story is an original work by Hazel Brown.

Every student carries a legacy-some forged in loyalty, others in betrayal.

Selena - The Twin Moons
A young orphan with unique powers is on the run from assassins alongside a mysterious young man. 🌙 When passion and power collide, nothing-not even a prophecy-can dictate the future. 🌙 Selena wasn't meant to exist. Newly arrived in a distant family, she discovers she carries the powers of two feuding Lunn lineages: telekinetics and telepaths. An impossible combination that inspires both awe and fear. Hunted and thrust into the center of an ancient, ambiguous prophecy, she's forced to ally with Nikolas, an elusive boy whose cunning and silence conceal dangerous secrets. Between mistrust, biting remarks, and attraction, neither dares to admit a fragile bond form. Essential. And ready to shatter at the slightest misstep. While the prophecy identifies her as the phoenix, it also cautions that through her, an evil force will awaken. The enigma persists: is this shadow an object, or a person? Amid betrayals and revelations, hatred and passion, Selena must find her place in a world where power is memory and emotion-and where love may prove her greatest weakness. 🌙 If you enjoy low-fantasy tales with romance, suspense, and unexpected twists, this novel is for you. 🌙 A huuge thank you to @BleuSaphir51 for the stunning cover (which I translated)!
Academy of Crowns
Seven houses. One academy. Secrets that could tear the world apart. Hidden from human eyes, an academy exists where supernatural bloodlines send their heirs to master power-and to keep ancient rivalries alive. Vampires, wolves, sirens, shadow-born, and more walk the halls in human form, bound by centuries of grudges and forbidden desires. In a school where every alliance has a price and every love is dangerous, survival means more than strength. It means knowing who to trust... and who is waiting to betray you. The academy promises greatness. But it might demand your soul.Compleet
🖤✨THE LAST SPELLBOUND✨🖤
Lucien's voice dropped to an intimate whisper beside his ear."Now tell me..what is the problem, Ezekiel? We're both men are we not? My state of undress shouldn't matter unless.."he moved to Zeke's other ear,"of course, it stirs something in you that feels..utterly inappropriate" ***** "I'm scared of the guilt you must carry,"Wren whispered."Knowing that inside you is a..a power so fierce. Knowing that at any moment, you could lose control and hurt the people around you. Or worse..yourself."Her thumb brushed gently over his knuckles."I can't possibly imagine what that weight feels like."Her gaze was unwavering, fierce in its compassion."Let me help you Zeke. Let me." 🖤✨ Dear reader, Zeke Aldren's magic has a body count. Sent off to Blackthorn Academy to control his magic that almost wiped out his entire village, he plans to be invisible.All he wants is control, and maybe, to feel human again. He finds that humanity in Wren, a banshee whose quiet love feels like a sanctuary. She is his ideal first love-the exact replica of what he'd always been taught to want. With her, he can almost believe in the simple, safe story he was given. But everything changes when he meets Lucien. Centuries old, utterly shameless, and whose beauty is as haunting and magnetically terrifying as his reputation, the vampire ignites a different kind of fire within Zeke-one that has nothing to do with magic and everything to do with a desire he never knew he could feel, one that could devour them both. Drawn to Lucien's dangerous allure, Zeke is forced to question everything: his power, his purpose, and the very foundation of who he is allowed to love. Wren felt safe, an anchor for his humanity but Lucien was a challenge against everything Zeke thought he knew about love and himself. In my book, love isn't just a choice..it's a weapon. *Love or loyalty? Light or dark? The wrong choice could doom them all..but the right one might destroy Zeke's heart.* Enjoy : )
FRAGILE HEART 💔 💔
"Where do you think you are going?" his breath fanned against my skin, raising goosebumps. My body is trapped between his, and a wall. He runs his fingers from my ear down my neck to my shoulder. My backs arches into his touch as I try to remember his question. "I h-ave c- cla class." I stutter, my brain is a puddle from standing so close to him. "You can run, kitten, but you can't hide." he growls, eyes glowing ice blue. "I am not-" His lips slam into mine swallowing every word that is to come. His grip on my waist tightens, fingers trail to grab my hair. He tugs on my bottom lips, earning a low moan from me. His lips leave mine with a pop sound. "You are mine." he tells me, his voice leaving no room for argument. He turns, and walks away leaving me breathless. My brain is a mess as my body longs for his touch again. ~~~~ Zara Perkins, a young ambitious girl who is living the life in college. She has the best grades, perfect brother, amazing friends.

Flesh Run - Phase One
In a world where healing is power, she was born without it. Elena Whitmore never asked to become a Somacian-one of the elite healers forged through blood, training, and the sacred Gauntlet. Unlike her peers, she carries no minor magic, no whisper of the gifts granted by the goddess Seravelle. All she has are her hands, her will, and the quiet promise she made to her brother: to endure. When she meets Finnic Draelan, a first-year Somacian with fire in his eyes and scars of his own, their bond in the Gauntlet is immediate-and unbreakable. But love in the Academy is as dangerous as it is rare, and their loyalty to one another is tested when the Blightlands rise in chaos. A hospital siege and a desperate escape through unstable portals leave Elena scarred by loss, fleeing into the realm of Hellifyno while the war she never chose threatens to consume everything she loves. Now hunted by powers greater than any blade, Elena must decide what it means to fight without magic in a world ruled by it. Because survival is no longer enough-she must find a way to heal a broken realm before it destroys her too. A story of resilience, forbidden love, and a war written in blood and betrayal-perfect for readers who crave fierce heroines, haunting worlds, and slow-burn bonds forged in fire.
