Book excerpt: An academy reverse harem fantasy romance series. I shouldn't be here, and everyone knows it. Blackbriar Academy is an enchanted school on a magical island, and everyone wants in. It's a home away from home for the most advanced mages in the world-and only the absolute best of the best are given an invitation. By some freak accident, I managed to get one. If I pass the trials, I get to stay. With nowhere else to go, Blackbriar is my one shot at having a real life, and I won't let anyone take this from me. But there's a catch. It turns out the people on this island are being trained to hunt the darkness-basically, they're being trained to hunt me. To survive, I have to hide what I am. As a half-mage, I shouldn't have any magic at all. And yet, my natural abilities are almost impossibly powerful-and incredibly illegal. Over history, magic like mine has corrupted the souls of those who were born with it. They've all gone dark-razing towns and murdering hundreds of thousands throughout history. All but me, and I have no idea why. As the trials get more and more challenging, it's clear I'm being hunted. If I'm caught... I die. At Blackbriar Academy, nothing is ever as it seems... but I have nowhere else to go. Nothing, and no one, will stand in my way. The Trials of Blackbriar Academy is a full-length novel with a badass heroine, a riveting storyline, and an alternative relationship dynamic that supports our badass heroine's right to choose more than one man. Get ready for a heart-pounding story filled with an academy fantasy romance unlike anything you've read before. Buckle in for heart-pounding action, breathtaking magic, deadly assassins, four drop-dead gorgeous leading men, lots of toned muscles, and most importantly-a young woman's journey of justice, self-discovery, and freedom.
