Bone & Shadow Academy

She came to Blackthorn Academy to destroy the shadow prince. She didn't expect him to be innocent. Lysandra Vane has one mission: infiltrate the most dangerous magical academy in the kingdom and expose Dain Marche—the shadow-wielding heir blamed for burning villages and killing soldiers in cold blood. Her brother's letters. Her kingdom's grief. The evidence seems undeniable. But the moment she steps onto the obsidian grounds of Blackthorn, something feels wrong. The academy isn't a monster's lair. It's a wound—ancient, bleeding, hiding secrets beneath its bone-white towers and blue-burning torches. And Dain Marche? He's nothing like the demon she was sent to kill. As Lysandra digs deeper, the truth unravels: a hidden warden pulling strings behind the throne, a conspiracy that used Dain as a weapon, and a darkness growing beneath the academy that will consume them both if they can't stop it. To save her kingdom, she'll have to trust the enemy. To save herself, she'll have to question everything her brother told her. Perfect for fans of dark academy romance, enemies-to-lovers fantasy, and slow-burn shadow magic.
