Milah is a spitfire senior in high school who's moved from place to place with her dad ever since she could remember. For a very long time it had always been just the two of them. Until one day, she meets Asher; a man slightly older than her, with a seasoned spirit. Milah quickly realizes the new town she lives in has deeper secrets than she could ever imagine and that she has an unfathomable connection to Asher - one that runs into the depths of their lineages. Before either of them know it, they are intertwined in an affair that no one can stop. Not even age-old laws. 
 
'He taught her all he could about who she was, and where he came from. They were the children of an old war between two celestial forces. And they were friends that couldn't be separated by even those circumstances.'

Trial Of Flame - Eidolon Academy Year 1 - SAMPLE ONLY by Halfasshippiewitch

"The gods are dead. The bloodlines remain. And she's about to bring it all down." Rowyn Vale grew up on the wrong side of the realm - poor, half-starved, and pissed off at the world. Her fae parents ran relics, sold shadows, and tried to sell her. She's used to surviving. Not exploding with ancient light and accidentally blinding a rich fae girl in the middle of high school. Now she's sentenced to death for a power she didn't ask for. But when a winged, arrogant disaster of a boy crashes through her prison ceiling and drags her into the sky, Rowyn learns the truth: she's not just some broken street fae. She's godblooded. Welcome to Eidolon Academy - a sentient university hidden in a pocket realm where every student is descended from a god, and each year ends in a deadly Trial that can kill you... or awaken something worse. Survive the Trials, and ascend. Fail, and vanish forever. And if the rumors are true? Rowyn isn't just another godblood. She might be the heir of the Godkiller - the one being powerful enough to raise the Pantheon. Let the Trials begin. Let the realm burn. This is a sample only! Thank you!

HR - #8 in NewAuthor #29 in Humor and #144 in teen-fiction. I stopped blind walking when the cold breeze hit my skin stroking the hair off my face. I looked around and realized that we were in terrace. He pulled me to the edge of the terrace. I stopped to look at the beautiful sight in front of me. The city lights looked really alluring with the night sky. A perfect contrast of life and death. I heard a thud sound and looked at him siting on the edge of the terrace with both legs hanging in the air. He patted the place next to him indicating me to take the seat. I hesitated, it was risky sitting on the edge. I have never done that. He raised his chin to look at me. "Trust me," He said and I found myself sitting beside him already. I hung my legs freely, it took me a moment to settle and when I did I gave a big smile. It felt good. ------------ Not everything about Gianna Vertes is normal.

Book one in 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑤𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝐸𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝐴𝑐𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑚𝑦 series. 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐲 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧 has been shaped by sorrow, growing up in a home scarred by her parents' addiction. Despite it all, she became the light in the dark. After their death, she was sent to live with her wealthy grandparents. Now, ready for a fresh start at college with her best friend, she never expected to meet Hunter-or the fire he would ignite within her. 𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐞 has been shaped by pain, growing up with an abusive, alcoholic father and a stripper for a mother. Fighting was survival, and when his brother tried to protect him by sending him away, he was left to face the world alone. Numb for years, he's forgotten how to feel-until Maddy. What happens when opposites attract? Will they heal or destroy each other completely, leaving only ruins behind? Welcome to Crestwood Elite, the world's most exclusive academy, where mafia heirs from across the globe come to master the skills of organized crime. 𝐒𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤: "I'm not doing anything!" Hunter's rough voice slices through the air. He's right next to me and I can feel his heat. His smell. 𝐌𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬. "Well, do nothing over 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. Away from me!" I point to a random car, further away from where we're standing. "And why would I do that?" He lifts a brow, amused. "Because I can't stand to be in your presence. You make me sick." He looks taken aback by that, but then his face darkens as he drawls. "You didn't seem to be sick when I had my tongue down your throat last night. In fact, I recall you moaning for more."

Awkward Blue by JackieBendster

💙 Awkward Blue 💙 "He's running from legacy. She's fighting for respect. Both are hunted by shadows." Kael Lance was born into privilege, power, and pressure. His grandfather owns a tech empire, his cousins are bred like heirs in a dynasty, and every move he makes is controlled. But when Kael finally rebels, he's banished to Maynard High, a remote boarding school where survival isn't just about grades, rules, or rivalries. Paranormal activities stalk them night and day, and one wrong move could mean disappearing forever. Siobhan Wildes only wants one thing: for the girls' soccer team to finally earn the respect they deserve. But between asthma attacks, dorm drama, and a school administration that says "no" more than it says her name, she's forced to fight twice as hard for every victory. And when day breaks, she too has learned the truth about Maynard's curse. At a school where legends walk, shadows hunt, and secrets bleed into every game, Kael and Siobhan are about to learn that survival takes more than talent, it takes loyalty, courage, and the right people by your side. For fans of dark academia, boarding school drama, forbidden romance, and paranormal twists. Awkward Blue is where legacy meets danger, and every heartbeat could be the last. Updates every Tuesday 💗

"The Edge of Quiet"🌒 by penbyannie

Genre: Dark Academia | Psychological ✦ Thriller | Coming-of-Age | Mystery | Slow Burn Romance Tagline: This isn't a school. It's a mirror-and some of us aren't ready to see what we are. They said it was just a school. But then the walls began to whisper. Seventeen-year-old Elara Syed never wanted attention. A scholarship kid with a quiet voice and observant eyes, she enters St. Edevane's Boarding Institute expecting strict rules, elitist classmates, and endless exams. What she doesn't expect is silence so thick it hums in her bones. From the moment she steps past the ivy-covered gates, something feels off. Whispers slip beneath dorm room doors. Footsteps echo down hallways that lead nowhere. There are rules-but none of them are written. And those who question too loudly? They vanish. Elara's only plan is to survive, blend in, and get out. But when she finds a red thread tied to her locker and a page from a missing girl's journal, she knows it's already too late for that. Then there's Aaran Halbrook, the school's golden boy with perfect grades and dead eyes. He's always surrounded by people but never truly with them. He watches her. Not with cruelty-but with recognition. Like he's seen someone like her before. Like he knows she shouldn't be here either. When Elara finds a matchbook with a symbol, opens a hidden door in the library, and wakes up with dirt under her fingernails after dreaming of a forbidden floor-she realizes this school isn't what it seems. It never was. ⸻ ✧ 𝘈 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘥. But what if the gift is surviving trauma? ✧ 𝘈 𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘴. But what if the shadows are watching? ✧ 𝘈 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

Ellemoore Academia by rosesaregrimy

For centuries, Ellerysium thrived, guarded by ten ancient crystals, each pulsing with unimaginable power. Entrusted to Elara, immortal guardian and daughter of Ellemoore Academia's founder, peace was once a promise. But peace never lasts forever. Her sister, Seraphina, once beloved by the people, betrayed them all. She stole four crystals, Emberstone, Thunderheart Amethyst, Luminescent Opal, and the Eclipsium Prism, and vanished into the shadows. In time, she forged her own kingdom: Aetheria. With her army of loyal followers, the Hallows, Seraphina declared war. She even performed a forbidden ritual, summoning the Dark Ascendant, a monstrous force meant to tip the scales in her favor. But Elara, at great cost, defeated it. Ellerysium splintered. The world divided. Now, with the conflict on the brink of chaos, Ellemoore Academia begins preparing its next defenders. Seven students. Diana, Blake, Dave, Xylon, Lexi, Sophia, and Savanna, are chosen to join the elite Warrior Angels. What once felt like training, rivalry, and friendship soon spirals into something far more dangerous. Secrets buried in legend begin to resurface. Loyalties will be tested. And as their first mission looms... one thing becomes painfully clear: This isn't just about a kingdom. It's about the truths they were never told. The choices that will define them. And the sacrifices they'll be forced to make. Because in a world built on magic, betrayal, and destiny, some will rise... and others will fall.
