NOT FULLY EDITED YET!!
At Valen Academy, the rules are written in blood.
Vampires reign, witches are forbidden, and secrets linger in the marble halls like ghosts.
When Althea Harlow, a young witch hiding her true nature, arrives at the centuries-old school, she expects to live in fear of discovery. But the moment she meets Lurieal Valen - the headmaster's son and reluctant heir to the vampiric bloodline - her fate begins to unravel. Drawn together by a bond neither fully understands, they awaken a forbidden connection between witchcraft and vampiric power that hasn't existed for generations.
As whispers spread through the academy and enemies close in, Althea must master the dark inheritance pulsing in her veins before it consumes her - and before Lurieal's father, Corvin Valen, finishes what he began years ago with the poisoning of his wife. A witch.
When love itself becomes the most dangerous kind of magic, the line between salvation and damnation grows perilously thin.

ETERNAL
1450. In the dark heart of Europe. In a village just beyond Vienna, Isabelle, the daughter of a scholar who died leaving behind more riddles than answers, stumbles upon the legacy he left her. Among his belongings, lies an ancient book, one that speaks of immortality and of creatures born from the night. A book that should never have fallen into her hands... or so she believed. On her path to unravel the mystery, she encounters Corvin: a hunter, impossibly handsome, dangerously charming, and insufferably arrogant. His presence infuriates her as much as it enthralls her. Their fragile alliance is woven from mistrust and an attraction as forbidden as it is undeniable. But behind his eyes lies a secret, darker than all the rest. Corvin is no ordinary man, he is a vampire. As the shadows tighten around her, Isabelle will come to realize that some secrets are not chosen. They choose you. Will you dare to open the book with her? "The story unfolds in a fictional version of the year 1450, within the broader setting of the 15th century.
