The Shadows We Hide

"Some secrets are meant to stay buried. Others will drag you into the dark."

Elara never wanted to belong to the hidden world. But when her dormant, forbidden magic violently awakens, she is thrust into Nocturne Academy-a brutal, gothic fortress where the elite hone their deadly powers, and the weak don't survive the semester. She thought surviving her classes would be the hardest part.

She was wrong.

Enter Kaelen. The Shadow King. Lethal, enigmatic, and the academy's most feared resident. He is darkness incarnate, a morally grey monster who rules the twisted halls with an iron fist. He should be her greatest enemy. But every time their paths cross, the crackling, explosive tension between them threatens to consume her entirely.

Kaelen knows Elara is hiding something. He is determined to unravel her secrets, piece by piece, even if it means tearing her world apart. But in a place where magic is currency and betrayal is a given, surrendering to the devil might be the only way Elara can stay alive.

Welcome to Nocturne Academy. Try not to lose your heart... or your soul.

The Shadows We Hide is the thrilling first installment in the Nocturne Academy Duology. If you crave dark academia, morally grey villains who would burn the world for her, and explosive enemies-to-lovers romance, step into the shadows.
