The Hidden Mark

2025

Fans of dark magic, secret bloodlines, and slow-burn reverse harem romance will devour this twisty, enemies-to-lovers academy series. I didn’t ask to be special. I sure as hell didn’t ask to be dragged through some glowing portal by a stranger with eyes as cold as diamonds. But when a letter shows up—talking about bloodlines, magic, and something called the Veil—my already shitty life gets ripped apart. Now I’m standing inside Blackthorn Academy, where monsters wear student uniforms and have factions, and humans like me aren’t supposed to exist. Except…I’m not just human. Not anymore. Powers are waking up inside me—and by waking up, I mean throwing temper tantrums and exploding out of me at really bad times. Everyone here keeps staring like I’m some kind of ticking time bomb. They whisper like I can’t hear them. Plot like I’m not five steps ahead. And a few of them? They look at me like they’ve already made up their minds about what I am. Too bad for them—I’m not here to play nice. I’m here to survive. They say this school will protect me. They’re lying. Because something dark is coming through the Veil…and it’s coming for me. If you love morally gray love interests, powerful heroines, and forbidden bonds, dive into Veilborn Academy.

The Bound Blood

2026

Escaping the veilscape was only the beginning. When I wake, the Council is waiting with a single answer to my power—bind it before it spreads. But their ritual fails spectacularly, ripping cracks through the Veil and unleashing magic no one knows how to contain. Now the same people who tried to cage me need my help to repair the damage they caused. The Veil is thinning. Strange distortions ripple across campus. Students are disappearing. And every hour the fractures widen, drawing something hungry closer to our world. I’m the only one who can stabilize the Veil…but the more I do, the more my magic changes. It’s unpredictable, volatile, and I am nothing like what I was before. If I can’t gain control, the Frostbound Term won’t mark a new beginning for Blackthorne Academy. It will mark its collapse. Book 2 of Veilborn Academy continues this dark-academy, slow-burn why choose filled with dangerous magic, unraveling secrets, and a heroine whose power refuses to stay buried.

The Cursed Shadow

2026

I trusted the wrong person and was shoved into the Veil. I came out changed—scarred, darker, and marked by power that burns in my veins. The Veil didn’t kill me. It unlocked something worse. Now I’m done being managed. Done being protected from myself. Done forgiving. Auron betrayed me. His father ordered it. And I’m going to make them pay. But revenge gets messy when the man who shoved me into darkness is the only one who truly understands what crawled back out. Hatred blurs into desire, and the line between enemy and ally vanishes. The Veil claimed me as its own. The academy, the Bloodborn, and every hidden power beyond the wards are about to discover what that means. They created the monster. I’m done pretending I won’t unleash it.
