The darkness likes to play in this world.
It also likes to deceive.
In the Enchanted Forest, secrets thrive and one girl desperately needs to find answers before it’s too late.
That girl is Corvina Charles, a powerful Shadowborn—a human who touched dark magic and became something else.
Something dangerous.
At the age of eighteen, Corvina and her best friend are swept away to the Shadowborn Academy, the one place where magic and darkness coincide.
It’s also where pupils go missing, teachers don’t play by any rules, the therapist is hot, and boys with dark magic love to seduce your soul.
With death becoming a game at the academy that not even the Dark or Light Fae seem capable of winning, my love life should really be the last thing on my mind…especially when one of the boys just so happens to be my teacher!
Shadowborn Academy is a Dark Reverse Harem Paranormal Fae Romance for 18+. In this world, not even the shadows can be trusted…
I did something terrible.
It’s a nasty secret, one I never want the world to find out. But now someone knows and they want me to get revenge for them.
Ethan Remington, Josh Dedican, Hunter Cross, Nathan Cross and Lucas Georgian are my targets, and they just so happen to rule the little town of Holly. I have to end their rule at the local academy I’ve just moved into or else my secret is out. That cannot happen.
I’ll do whatever it takes to keep my secret safe—even if that means taking down my unlucky victims one by one.
Don’t feel sorry for them. They did bad things too, almost as terrible as me. I'm going to be their worst nightmare imaginable. And the best part They don't get to wake up from it.
If I’m going to hell, they are coming down with me.
