Dante's life at Academia Veritatis, a prestigious yet mysterious university, was meant to be a fresh start-a place to immerse himself in his studies and poetry. Instead, he finds himself plagued by vivid nightmares, strange symbols, and an unshakable pull toward forbidden areas of the campus. His path intertwines with Elias Noctis, a captivating and enigmatic student whose connection to Dante feels both fated and dangerous.
As the two uncover hidden secrets about the university's past-and themselves-they realize they are bound by a curse rooted in love, loss, and betrayal. Together, they must navigate a labyrinth of dreams, ancient mysteries, and forbidden love to break the cycle and reclaim their lives.
But in a world where nothing is as it seems, can love truly overcome the shadows of the past? Or will the echoes of history repeat themselves, tearing them apart forever?
The Course of Echoes is a spellbinding tale of love, destiny, and self-discovery set against a backdrop of academia and dark intrigue.All Rights Reserved

Beneath by immoralLaurel

His lips trail down my neck, sending shivers all over. "I love looking at you," he breathes, brushing the hair off my shoulders. "Will you let me?" My wild heart seeks his. "Yes." For a long moment, I just feel his eyes. Then, his hands. They skim down my spine, bowing my body into his. When his lips find my throat, I lean back into his hands, my eyes closing. He kisses between my breasts, then across them, swirling his tongue and kissing, always kissing. My fingers curling into his hair. His response is a smile against my skin. He pulls my arms out to kiss them, all the way to my wrists...all the way back. He presses affection into my skin, injects trust into my veins. Then he eases me to my back and does it all over again. ******* An obscure tutoring opportunity brings Camila closer to three friends: Noah, Jed, and Fox. After hiding in the shadows for so long, Cam is coaxed to the light. STANDALONE NOVEL Copyright © 2024-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).
