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.

No Good Witches | ONC √
I'M GOING TO START EDITING THIS PROBABLY. If you go to Our Lady of the Black Veil Academy, chances are you know the names Cass Landry, Rebecca Lovelace, and Mallory Meksawan. Cass Landry being the mysterious new girl with a tendency to practice magic illegally, Rebecca being notorious for lighting up every room she walks into, and Mallory being the second in command it-girl of Black Veil, as famed as she is feared. After a magical attempt to escape detention goes terribly, horribly wrong and their ethics teacher winds up dead (ironic, they know), Cass must band together with Rebecca, the girl she "totally doesn't like", and Mallory, another girl she doesn't like (but like...for real this time) to find a spell that can bring their teacher back to life before her situation becomes permanent. A spell of this caliber, however, requires that they venture into the underground world of their picturesque town, striking a deal with a powerful gang leader that not only raises the stakes, but gives them an even tighter timeline. And though as a witch Cass has personal experience with life and death, the pressure that she's facing now might just be too tough to handle. Luckily, she's not alone. And with the three baddest witches of Black Veil, who knows what could happen. (So yeah I failed but I'm keeping ONC in the title okay let me have this)Complete
Vampire Queen of the Apocalypse
In a world ruled by darkness, her light will burn eternal. Sealed in a crystal coffin at the peak of the Great Vampire War, Selene Castielle was known as the weakest vampire of her time-unable to drink blood, frail at night, and an embarrassment to her noble lineage. Born once every decade, a female vampire was considered sacred... yet Selene was treated like a fragile glass doll. But Selene harbored a secret even she didn't understand: her powers didn't come from blood-they came from the sun. A thousand years later, the earth is broken. Civilization has fallen to the zombie plague, a cursed virus that wiped out most of humanity. When an earthquake cracks her mountain tomb, Selene awakens to a dying world-and a destiny she never expected. Now, under the blazing light of the sun, she is no longer the weakest. She is a beacon of power, feared by the undead, worshipped by survivors, and haunted by her past. But the apocalypse hides more than monsters. Connor, a stoic human warrior who leads a resistance group, bears an eerie resemblance to Selene's long-lost vampire fiancé. As Selene uncovers ancient secrets, forbidden experiments, and the truth behind the zombie curse, she must face the terrifying origin of her own bloodline. A once-broken vampire queen will rise. The undead will kneel-or burn.
The Scattered Heir
Nocturna Academy is the most prestigious university for supernaturals - a place where every race, from vampires and werewolves to fae, witches, warlocks, empaths, and hybrids, comes to prepare for the roles they will one day claim in their own communities. Royals, diplomats, and leaders of every kind have walked its enchanted halls. One student, however, has lingered longer than most. Seraphine Ashbourne, the youngest daughter of a royal vampire dynasty, has spent a decade within Nocturna's walls. Officially, she is here to learn. In truth, the academy is her family's cage - a place to keep her hidden, out of sight and out of mind. Something stirs within her, something her family fears, and until they can control it, she is not allowed to claim her place at court. Seraphine herself does not know the true reason she is kept here. What she does know is that her family demands perfection: strict discipline, flawless poise, and an obedience that clashes with her untamable spirit. Now, in her tenth year, Seraphine begins yet another cycle of studies. She repeated her first year once, then completed the curriculum in full - twice - only to be denied her title again and again. Frustrated, grieving, and restless, she enters this new year with little hope. But the academy is changing. New professors watch her closely, some determined to protect her, others to test her. Two of them, however, see her differently - not just as a student or an heir, but as someone they cannot help but be drawn to. Their attention is dangerous, forbidden, and intoxicating. And Seraphine, for the first time in her long years at Nocturna, finds herself unwilling to resist. She will not choose between them. She will not deny herself the connection they offer. Whispers gather in the halls, rumors cling to her name, and the weight of her legacy presses heavier than ever. Seraphine Ashbourne is more than her family's secret. Whether they allow it or not, the Scattered Heir is about to awaken.
Depth of YOU
"She was never meant to exist. He was born to destroy her. At Edelmare Academy, secrets don't stay buried for long." Evara Richards thought she was just another transfer student. But Edelmare Academy is no ordinary school-it's a place where bloodlines decide fate, where whispers of prophecy haunt the halls, and where some secrets are powerful enough to kill for. Reano Madriff, the academy's golden heir, carries the weight of a kingdom on his shoulders. He knows the prophecy, he knows the danger, and he knows Evara is the one person he should never get close to. But when friendships form, loyalties break, and ancient wounds resurface, Evara will be forced to question everything she's ever known-about her past, her powers, and herself. Some truths are better left hidden. Some fates can't be escaped. And some hearts burn brightest in the dark.
"Eclipsed Hearts"
In an age when the heavens still whispered to the earth, two witches were born beneath opposing skies. Nova, the Blind Sun Witch, commands the burning power of the dawn - light that sears, heals, and reveals all truths. Though her eyes are veiled by the brilliance of her own magic, she sees deeper than most - into hearts, into souls, into lies. To the world, she is the bringer of balance, the light that banishes shadow. Yet in her silence burns a loneliness as endless as the sun's horizon. Selene, the Moon Witch, is the mistress of the night - weaving illusions from starlight, guiding dreams and shadows alike. Her power is soft but merciless, reflecting what others hide from themselves. She reigns over mystery, over beauty, over secrets best left untold. Light and dark. Order and chaos. They were destined to destroy each other. But when the threads of fate twist their paths together, hatred begins to tremble under the weight of something far more dangerous - understanding. As the sun chases the moon across the heavens, Nova and Selene's battle becomes a dance - a war of magic, of desire, and of truth. Only one can reign. Yet neither can exist without the other.
