I’m not sorry. Cut the blurb, I need to vent.
Sylas.
Mate.
You. Absolute. Prat.
You remember what we had to sacrifice to get to this godforsaken academy, right? All for you, I might add. And while I downed that potion to qualify—the one with fifty percent chance of killing me—what were you doing?
That’s right. Opening your bleeding heart to a random woman and accidentally binding her to your magic. (You know, that minorly important thing your 'condition' requires for survival?)
And that—that’s not even the kicker, is it?
You should be popular with the ladies—you have that whole ‘strongest-vamp-in-academy-history’ thing going, right? But congratulations, you found the one exception, because Briar Bishop hates you.
To add to everything, she’s untrained (and insane). Come the trial, demons are going to eat her alive, and she’ll take your magic with her—magic she’s now burning through, it seems, just to spite you.
And who is the one left to clean up this mess?
Right.
Me.
Where are my matches? I need a bloody smoke.

*ahem.* The Witcher meets Zodiac Academy in a slow burn four book romance. Broody vamps and shifters. Enemies to lovers. Monsters and magic. Check. Check. Check. You know, all the good stuff. Go buy it.
Or Axel will find you. And he’s in a bad mood.
