Six years ago, my world was ripped from under me, and I was taken to Cardinal Three—a place where pain served as my constant companion in this paranormal romance series. Here, witches, demons, shifters, and humans all submit to one authority: King's. What he decrees is law. So, trying to escape this urban fantasy nightmare hasn’t been easy. No one leaves without his explicit permission, and in reality, no one leaves at all... alive, that is. But I have a plan—one last chance to break free from this nightmare once and for all. One month is all I need to stay off King’s radar while gathering the final ingredients for the spell I’ve been crafting within the confines of my shadow academy books. Shouldn’t be that hard... right? But it turns out King has his own agenda, involving a trade of me to the five shifters of Manhattan. With his ultimatum hanging over me, I'm left with no choice but to comply. Yet, I’m determined to escape, no matter what. Or so I thought. It turns out these five shifters are not just my captors; they are my mates—and also, the boys I left behind six years ago.

Kai. Jax. Luka. Rion. Axel.

She was taken from us…again.

And now she’s in the hands of that sadistic psycho. But thanks to our bond, we have abilities that surpass even the strongest of our kind, as you’ll find in the most engaging paranormal romance series. We’ll get her back. And when we do… those who have hurt her will pay, just like the villains in the shadow academy books. Along with anyone else who gets in our way, this urban fantasy novel will show no mercy.

It’s time…

Time to end this once and for all. 

With my mates by my side, I know we can get through anything… even if the world burns around us. 

It all started with King, and it will end with him too. 

Even if that means I have to hunt him to Hell to finish this. 

In this gripping paranormal romance series, every twist feels like it could be pulled from the pages of shadow academy books, where darkness and magic collide. 

One way or another…

One thing’s for sure. 

King’s reign will end…

That I can promise you, just like the unforgettable tales found in the best urban fantasy novels.

Death was supposed to be my end. Instead, it was just the beginning of an unexpected journey in a paranormal romance series. 

I woke up in someone else’s body, inside the Shadow Academy, a school for elite warriors featured in the captivating shadow academy books. Now they think I’m someone I'm not, and until I escape this urban fantasy novel turned reality, I’ll have to play along.

But things get complicated when strange powers awaken inside me, along with forgotten memories of my previous life.

Then there are the four Elite Shadows who hate me for some reason, yet strangely believe I’m their mate:

Knox, the lethal assassin who hears my every thought and whispers back in a voice like sin.

Malakai, the Shadow shifter who sees through my eyes—and likes what he finds.

Theon, whose shadows alone inflict pain, pretends to be cold, but one hint of my fear sends him feral.

And Cyrus, the nightmare Shadow who slithers into my dreams just to play.

Between brutal classes, war camps, and deadly games against a rival academy, I’m also hunting the truth. Because this body isn’t the only thing that’s stolen.

My death was no accident. And if they think I’ll play by their rules, they’re dead wrong.

Answers or ashes. Maybe I’ll just end up burning this place down.

Death was just the beginning… now it might be the beginning of my end. 

Answers finally brought into the light have revealed who switched my body. 

Or should I say… switched it back.  

Apparently, it was mine all along. 

And now I’m finally free of the Shadow Academy. But instead of gaining my freedom, I’ve ended up in enemy territory with the Winged Shadows. 

Hiding my true identity, I blend in as another student and try to figure out my role in this new reality, part of a paranormal romance series that is unfolding around me. 

Unlike my four Shadow mates that followed me here, who seem to enjoy causing havoc and playing games. 

But everything is not what it seems. And as the dark slowly closes in around us, time begins to run out… 

Turns out Commander Levington plans to destroy the Hollow once and for all. And if he’s successful, we would never have to worry about the dark creatures or terrigons ever again. 

I just have to pass his little tests to get onto the team going. 

That’s if my four possessive mates, who hate the idea of me being hurt, don’t block my chances. 

But I also have to reveal my secret to them. A secret that could make us stronger… 

Or maybe just break us once and for all, in this thrilling sequel to the Shadow Academy books and a compelling addition to the urban fantasy novels that I adore.

Final book in the Shadow War Academy series, part of the captivating urban fantasy novels collection. Blurb coming soon. 

Releasing November 1st!
