Cruel Magic

A long-lost heir to dark magic royalty. A brutal power she never wanted. But these villains aren't giving her a choice. When mages slaughter my parents in front of me, I have no time to mourn. The murderers drag me into a society of dark magic where power is created by fear. It turns out I'm the long-lost heir to one of their royal families—guaranteed to possess a talent even more vicious than most. And I'm trapped here until I accept my role. But I don't want these wicked skills I have no idea how to tap into. I don't want the mansion or the fancy clothes or the massive bank account I inherited. I especially don't want the attention of my fellow heirs: four scorching-hot, arrogant men who rule this place and crush anyone who doesn't kowtow. All I really want is my family back... but I can't have that. So I'll take what I can get to avenge the people I loved. The moment I master the dark power inside me, I’m burning this place to the ground. *Cruel Magic the first book in a university-age paranormal academy series. Expect magical villainy, a tough heroine who bends to no one’s will, a dollop of steam, and a heart-wrenching reverse harem enemies-to-lovers romance.*
