Every century, when the Veil between the living and the dead begins to thin, a chosen few are summoned to the Academy. Hidden deep in the mist-covered highlands, the Veil Academy is no ordinary school-it is the last barrier between life and the restless shadows that hunger to break free.
Selene Ashcroft never asked to be chosen. Gifted-and cursed-with uncontrollable elemental power, she can summon storms and shape fire, but every surge of magic threatens to consume her. Among students who walk through dreams, bind blood, and wield shards of the Veil itself, Selene must learn to master her volatile gifts before they destroy her and everyone around her.
But the Veil is unraveling faster than ever before. Spirits are escaping. Nightmares walk the halls. And an ancient prophecy warns that one of the Academy's students will either mend the Veil... or shatter it forever.
As secrets of the school's past unravel and loyalties are tested, Selene and her friends must decide how much of themselves they are willing to sacrifice to protect both the living and the dead.
The Veil Academy is waiting. And the shadows are already watching.

The Prophecy Of The Black Day
Haunted by the evil queen of Rodia, Selene Feather's early life on earth was constantly filled with tragedy. At age 8, she watched her mother get brutally murdered and thus lost all the memories of her magical background prior to that day. Raised by her strict aunt Tianna, Selene grew up believing she was unremarkable and unimportant. When Selene got accepted into an exclusive summer writing camp, she was ecstatic. Unfortunately, her joy was short-lived. Constantly tormented by recurring nightmares, fleeting memories of her mother's death, and the overwhelming chemistry she had with her boyfriend's hot stepbrother, Benjamin, Selene felt like she couldn't catch a break. To make matters worse, she finds herself falling behind in the writing camp due to her inexplicable desire to be insignificant. With an evil queen desperately trying to find her, bizarre writing challenges she can never seem to finish and peculiar incidences that keep happening to her, would Selene ever be able to discover why she is so desperate to be unremarkable? Or would the evil queen find her before she even has the chance to unlock her true potential?

Witchbound 1
In a small, seemingly ordinary town, Selene has always felt like she's just another face in the crowd. Her life revolves around the typical high school experiences-hanging out with friends, navigating the ups and downs of teenage life, and managing the constant buzz of schoolwork and daily routines. To the outside world, it's a life like any other, filled with the usual moments of frustration and joy. Yet, beneath the surface of this mundane existence lies a hidden world, one that Selene never could have imagined. Magic, mystical creatures, and ancient forces have quietly coexisted with her reality, just out of sight. It's a world governed by secrets, where the extraordinary is concealed by the normal. When Selene's life unexpectedly takes a turn, she is drawn to Eldermyst Academy, an ancient, secluded institution that holds the key to her true potential. The academy is a place far removed from her small-town life, a place where the supernatural is a part of everyday existence. Here, Selene begins to uncover her own latent powers, powers that have been dormant for years. The stark contrast between her once predictable world and the strange, mystical realm she enters becomes the foundation for her transformation. As she explores secret locations, encounters creatures beyond imagination, and navigates the complexities of magical realms, Selene begins to realize that her journey isn't just about surviving the chaos of two worlds colliding-it's about mastering the forces within herself, understanding the legacy that runs through her veins, and coming to terms with the power she holds. Each challenge she faces, each discovery she makes, takes her further away from the life she knew, and closer to a destiny that was always waiting for her.Complete

Silent Heroes: Wildcat
"What the hell?" I took a step closer to the mirror, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The person looking back was still me, but at the same time it wasn't. I had the same thick, dark, curly hair. The same hazel eyes. The same olive skin with a light dusting of freckles (ugh) scattered across the bridge of my nose. But my curls were now streaked with highlights. And not the subtle, golden-brown ones that sometimes appeared during the summer. No, these were an aggressive, dazzling blond that went from the roots of my hair all the way to the tips. It looked like I had spent a full day getting my hair done in some upscale salon. Never mind that I had never set foot in such a place since the day I was born. My eyes appeared somehow wider and more luminous. The colour brighter, my eyelashes darker up against them. And, when I looked closely, my pupils seemed to be slitted almost like a cat. I looked down at my body. My skinny arms-which had always refused to gain any definition no matter how hard I exercised-were lined with flat, wiry muscles. My bony shoulders were now curved and smooth. My scrawny legs were toned like a dancer. I reached down and lifted my shirt, revealing two subtle lines running vertically down my perfectly flat stomach, hinting at the rock-hard abs underneath. My whole body was rippling with strength. Like liquid steel.Complete
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
