Spin-offs and extras

There is a companion series, Darkmore Penitentiary, plus several novellas and short story collections (including Origins of an Academy Bully and The Awakening as Told by the Boys) that deepen side characters. Read the main run first, then explore the extras.

What to expect

Twins Tory and Darcy arrive at a fae academy to claim their stolen throne — facing off against four powerful, ruthless heirs. Expect enemies-to-lovers, escalating spice, and a sprawling cast readers adore.
