Veil of Shadows
Chloe Morwen was never supposed to find the letters.
She was never supposed to learn about Tess.
And she was never supposed to hear the shadows whisper her name.
But now it's too late.
Ever since her 16th birthday, something has been watching Chloe. Mirrors glitch. Her closet opens on its own. And every night at 3:17 a.m., the whispers return.
When she discovers a box of forgotten letters and a name erased from her family's history, Chloe begins to unravel a curse that has haunted the Morwen bloodline for generations. The deeper she digs, the closer the darkness creeps-and the harder it becomes to tell what's real.
In a town built on secrets and surrounded by haunted woods, Chloe must choose: bury the past...
or let it consume her.

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
