Ashthorne Academy isn't a school. It's a warning.
Veyra Crowe has always been different. Haunted by shadows of her past, broken memories, and a family legacy she doesn't fully understand, she arrives at a place where walls watch, shadows move, and death is always closer than it seems.
Surviving Ashthorne requires more than smarts - it requires ruthlessness, instinct, and the ability to trust no one. Allies are scarce. Enemies hide in plain sight. And sometimes, the people who seem the safest... are the most dangerous of all.
Dark magic, twisted rituals, and whispers of a legacy she can't escape will force Veyra to face horrors she never imagined. But the greatest danger might not be the shadows... it might be the ones smiling at her in the light.
Blood. Secrets. Survival. Ashthorne Academy will change everything.

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
