Asher Anderson is angry―at the world, at himself, at the way his best friend
Lucy Wolfe seems determined to tune out this buzzing connection between them.
He doesn't mean to solve all his problems with violence, but maybe he has too
much of his father in him. That's why the faculty at Avernia College hates him,
right? Because of the "evil" blood in his veins?
He should know better than to darken the old, ivy-covered university's door,
but it's practically a law of the universe: wherever Lucy goes, Asher follows.
Even if that means entering a twisting labyrinth of secret societies, human
sacrifices, and a very personal history soaked in blood.
Lucy is used to being an outcast. She's even used to Asher being her dark,
brooding shadow. What she isn't used to is him shattering her resolve by taking
her up against library bookshelves as she desperately pretends her heart hasn't
always been his. She should know better than to play with fire, but with
unexplained deaths and pointed threats ripping apart the university's fabric,
Asher and Lucy soon find themselves at the center of the turmoil…where they'll
have to confront their feelings or die trying.
Just when it seems her luck has run dry, the academy's enigmatic headmaster,
Prince Kaelis, offers her an escape-for a price. Kaelis believes that Clara is
the perfect tool to help him steal a tarot card from the king and use it to re-create
an all-powerful card long lost to time.
In order to conceal her identity and keep her close, Kaelis brings Clara to
Arcana Academy, introducing her as the newest first-year student and his
bride-to-be.
Thrust into a world of arcane magic and royal intrigue, where one misstep will
send her back to prison or worse, Clara finds that the prince she swore to hate
may not be what he seems.
There are secrets she must uncover.
There are secrets he must keep.
Salem Salazar is fascinated with death. The black sheep of her scandal-ridden,
wealthy family, she arrives at Mortimer University as a legacy on the hunt for
answers about what happened to her perfect, older sister. There, she discovers
that her sister is far from the only girl to have gone missing at Mortimer.
Salem will do anything to discover what dark forces are killing Mortimer's
students...even if it means using herself as bait.
And Cazimir van der Waal has caught her scent. The mysterious artist and
teaching assistant has a dark past, a hidden agenda, and a ravenous appetite
for a beautiful, golden-eyed girl who seems determined to risk her life.
Where she is ice, he is fire. Where she is organization, he is chaos. Where she
is precision, he is passion. Together they are explosive--their fates linked as
secret societies and death stalk them both.
Enigma is a sensual, epic love story for those who also crave the
frightful, the puzzling, the suspenseful, the dangerous and the dark.
Mortui vivos docent.
The dead teach the living.
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two
things. I’d find the cure for what ravaged her. And leave the godforsaken city
where she abandoned me.
Four years later, I receive an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one
of the oldest, most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded
island off the coast of Maine, it’s rumored to be haunted by the souls of the
mental patients exiled there centuries before. Those whose bones are said to
make up the island’s white sandy shores.
And restless ghosts aren’t even its most daunting peculiarity.
Devryck Bramwell, known on campus as Doctor Death, is a brilliant pathologist
in charge of the midnight lab. He’s also my devastatingly handsome professor,
who seems to loathe tenacious first-years, like me. Except, his dark and
enigmatic gaze tells me all the ways he’d devour me if given the chance, and
his stolen kisses burn my lips with forbidden jealousy.
I crave his authority.
He aches for redemption.
Together, we’re toxic. Delicious fodder for the prying eyes hellbent on
exhuming the rotted skeletons of our pasts.
For the dead have much to teach, and it’s only a matter of time before
Dracadia’s most depraved secret is resurrected.
