When 26-year-old Veyra Holloway inherits her grandmother's inn, she expects creaky floors, dusty books, and maybe a squirrel or two in the attic. What she gets instead is a sentient house, a ghostly mentor in a sunflower apron, and a 10-acre property that serves as neutral ground for the supernatural.
Witches, vampires, werewolves - even the elusive Fae - check in under strict truce. And Veyra? She's somehow been named the Keeper of it all.
Too bad no one told her she's also a witch.
With only a sarcastic ghost, a cryptic guest cloaked in shadow, and a possibly-too-handsome werewolf handyman on her side, Veyra must learn to navigate a world of ancient magic, hidden alliances, and magical politics - all while not accidentally growing a tree through the roof again.
Because something is watching.
And the Inn's magic is waking up.
And Veyra?
She's done being ordinary.

ONCE UPON A BROKEN STAR (TVD/HP/ORIGINALS)
After the war, Lyra Potter is utterly, completely, and unapologetically done with the wizarding world. The media? Shitstorm. The Ministry? Corrupt as ever. The so-called Light Lords? Idiots. The so-called Dark Lords? Even bigger idiots. So, despite her well-meaning (but infuriating) friends, Lyra packs up, flips the wizarding world the metaphorical bird, takes her godson Teddy, and vanishes. Her destination? Mystic Falls. A quiet, unassuming town where one of her Black ancestors once built a lavish estate-the Black Palace. She hopes for peace and quiet-a fresh start, away from magic, war, and endless expectations. But deep down? She knows better. There is no peace for her. Why? Because she is, after all, Death's Little Angel of Chaos. And a Potter. She doesn't seek trouble. Trouble finds her. And so, before she even realizes it, she's swept up in yet another whirlwind- Only this time, it's not scheming politicians, megalomaniac wizards, or dark prophecies. This time, it's- Vampires. Werewolves. Shapeshifters. Doppelgängers-apparently, she's one. An ancient ancestor who oddly approves of her. An annoying twin she has zero interest in. Two ridiculously dramatic vampire brothers. And an entire family of goddamn Originals. What has the world come to? Nothing. Just a storm called love hitting her in the most unexpected way. Her? Entangled with the Original Hybrid of all people? And did she mention she has her little godson with her? "You have got to be joking," she thinks.
The Academy of Shadows
Magic. Bloodlines. Secrets buried in shadows. The heir to the Four Kingdoms was never meant to be found. When sixteen-year-old Princess Lyra Voss arrives at the Academy of the Arcane Veil, she carries more than her royal blood-she carries a prophecy, a curse, and a legacy lost to time. The Academy promises sanctuary. Training. Answers. But its halls whisper secrets, and not all of them want her to survive long enough to hear the truth. As Lyra is drawn into a world of forbidden magic, political intrigue, and ancient power, she discovers the ruined city of Velmora-a forgotten fifth kingdom buried in myth and shadow. The more she learns, the more impossible her future becomes: a lost twin brother, a cursed crown, and the echo of a war that never truly ended. Allies become suspects. Teachers hide dangerous truths. And deep beneath the Academy, something stirs... waiting for the Queen who was never supposed to rise. If Lyra cannot unlock her gifts-and uncover the treachery buried in her bloodline-then darkness will claim not just her, but the entire realm. The first book in a sweeping four-part dark fantasy series, The Academy of Shadows is perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, The Cruel Prince, and A Deadly Education. Enter a world of cursed thrones, forgotten cities, and one girl caught between destiny and rebellion.Complete

Standing at the edge of the wildwood, it hums with forgotten magic and whispers of a legacy long buried.

A balance shattered the night her family was murdered. Among the ruins of that lost world, Annabel encounters Nick, a gruff fae whose piercing blue eyes and guarded heart conceal secrets of his own. Drawn to him against her better judgment, she begins to sense that their fates are tangled far more deeply than she realizes. But in the shadows, an old enemy stirs. The Loom trembles, the Courts are restless, and the veil between realms grows thin. Annabel must choose: embrace the legacy that terrifies her or watch both worlds collapse into ruin.
