Avaryn Alastors life couldn't possibly get any worse. That's what she told herself the second her feet crossed the threshold of Crestwood Academy. But boy, was she wrong.

But tragedy struck her family and it had always been her moms dream. The first day she's there she makes a fool out of herself in front of the most popular group in all of Crestwood. And to make matters worse one of them is her roommate! They call themselves the Devara. (Stupid, she knows). And yet she can't help but feel drawn to them. Drawn to everything about them. So Avaryn does what she does best, she investigates. Only what she finds is a whole other dangerous world. A world of secrets and pain and even magic. The Devara is supernatural. They come from a whole other world. Not only that but they are heirs to this world. They are royalty. And with royalty comes enemies ... And now these enemies want Avaryn. And the only way she'll survive is sticking with the Devara. That is ... If she doesn't kill them first. Mystery, romance, death, lies. A plot twist you won't see coming.

Maynard High: Awkward Blue
💙 Maynard High: Awkward Blue 💙 "He's running from legacy. She's fighting to be believed. Both are closer to the truth than they should be." Kael Lance was born into power, expectation, and control. When he finally pushes back, he's sent to Maynard High, a remote boarding school where discipline is strict, rules are absolute... and students don't always make it out. Siobhan Wildes has spent her time at Maynard trying to survive, its pressure, its silence, and the way people like her are easily pushed aside. But when she gets her hands on something she was never meant to see, she learns the truth: At Maynard, people don't just hide the truth, they disappear. And the ones who ask too many questions are next. As strange patterns begin to surface and reality starts to blur, Kael and Siobhan are pulled into something far bigger than school rules or social hierarchy. Because at Maynard, knowledge comes with a cost, and once you see it, there's no going back. In a world where secrets are controlled, loyalty is tested, and even your closest allies might turn on you, survival isn't about strength. It's about knowing when to look away. ...and when it's already too late. For fans of dark academia, boarding school drama, psychological horror, a little sports drama and slow-burn tension.
