Witch Born

2019

I'm a hybrid witch born with the forbidden ability to wield all schools of magic. My family successfully hid me for years, but last week I accidentally and publicly raised the dead. Now I'm facing time at Ravenhold supernatural reform academy. Ravenhold detains dangerous juvenile offenders on a remote island, where their magic is useless and escape impossible. The authorities call this a reform school, but the supernatural world knows the truth. Ravenhold is a paranormal prison. Dorian Blackwood rules over the vampires, shifters and witches in the academy's halls. As the only vampire-witch hybrid in existence, he has unparalleled supernatural abilities and few people dare confront the cruel and charming savage. But the academy's two other powerful hybrids want his crown. His main rival, Zeke, is a shifter hybrid whose laidback manner hides a vicious streak. And Ethan, the mysterious dragon shifter with witch magic, wants Dorian deposed too. As the new hybrid at the academy, I’m dragged straight into the middle of their power struggle. Even though I'm drawn to the three guys, I want to keep away from the violence and politics. I have a bigger problem. The academy's enchantment should suppress all magic, but mine keeps spilling out, and other residents are beginning to notice. I make a plan: keep my head down, attend the classes, and hope for an early release from this supernatural prison. Until somebody tells me people never leave. And those who escape onto the island are never seen again. My future could involve a deal with the three dangerous men who have the ability to either help or kill me.

Magic Forged

2021

There’s a way to escape from Ravenhold, but I won’t be free. When I arrived on the island, I believed the other hybrids at the reform academy were my greatest enemies. Now they’re my closest allies inside the corrupt institution. Apart from one. Dorian Blackwood. The seductive vampire hybrid almost stole my blood and magic. Dorian wants my power and thinks he can weaken me, but I saw the truth when we kissed. I weaken him. A new witch arrives at the academy, and he claims that we can escape the magic-locked island, but I don’t want any dealings with this familiar face. The guy takes control of the witches, but Dorian doesn’t punish the student who challenges his authority. Why? As we navigate the power plays around us, I learn more about Zeke’s mysterious past and push through his barriers, but Ethan continues to struggle with how much his dragon half controls him. We’re united now, but would a life outside Ravenhold pull us apart? With Dorian’s and the newcomer’s help, we have a genuine chance of escape, but nothing happens by chance in this place. Who sent somebody to free the hybrids, and what awaits the four of us in the outside world? What will happen if a vengeful Dorian Blackwood is unleashed on our society? Magic Forged is the second book in the Ravenhold series from USA Today bestselling author LJ Swallow. The books are set in a supernatural reform academy with deliciously dangerous guys and a badass heroine who won't bow to anyone. Ravenhold is a slow burn, enemies to lovers reverse harem romance series. The books are steamier and have darker themes than the Nightworld Academy series. Ravenhold: Witch Born must be read first.

Eloise, I told you we would watch the world burn. They'll start the fire, and we'll stand in the ashes of their destruction, ready to create our own. Now I've escaped Ravenhold, what does my future hold? Even before Ravenhold, I lived under others' control, but now I have a freedom that I've never experienced.

We're fugitives with decisions to make and agendas to follow. Dorian's obsession lies with revenge on those who created his life. Zeke needs to sever ties with the Tigris permanently. And I want to discover who's responsible for the 'special program'—student deaths need to stop. But Ethan's dangerous plans could expose us. He's consumed by the need to find his sister, the girl whose life he saved the day he became a mid. If the Confederacy want to lure us out, they have the perfect opportunity because Ethan will not stop his search. Anybody can try to take us, but nobody will ever contain us, and nothing can pull apart the bond we have.

But Dorian wants revenge, and when he confronts a savage enemy, the consequences reach further than we could imagine. As we move closer to the truth about Ravenhold and why the four of us were there, we discover a world woven with family feuds, secrets, and lies. But few know the ultimate secret that the Confederacy hold about me. One that will create a new future and alter our lives in a way we never expected.
