Bellona Corvin has lived her life in the dark-not because she wanted to but due to her medical condition that made her allergic to the sun for as long as she can remember. She became nocturnal, and she grew to love the darkness of night, which caught the eye of a fellow headmaster of a secret University in Tenebrous, Maine. Dragonmir University was established for the elite and people like her, but it is said to be haunted by the spirits of the dead students from ten years ago. At least, that's what people around town have said. Bellona ignores all the warnings because this is her chance to get a better education. She finally wanted all her life and would not let her condition get in the way.
Valamir Thorne spent his life hiding in the shadows. It was his profession to end those who threatened Scythian, the secret cult he was forced to join as a young boy. He was called the Executioner, and that title made everyone around him afraid. Of course, he learned a million ways to kill a man, but only when the Judge ordered it. He didn't exactly like his job like any other sane person, but that was life. When he makes a mistake on his last mission, the Judge forces him to become a Professor at the prestigious Dragonmir University as a consequence. After a year, he will leave and return to his formal job. But for now, he has to teach whiny young adults the ways of Shakespeare and Homer.
It would be his worst punishment yet.
But that all changes when he meets Bellona Corvin, his student. As soon as he sees her, he cannot stay away.
When students start dying suspiciously, it is up to them to figure out who is behind the killings as they dodge the violent cult at play. All while watching for ghosts of their past returning to haunt them.

Sometimes love is the strongest magic of all
***
Nineteen-year-old Rhia Greenbrook has lived in the sleepy town of Oakriver in a house with three generations of witches her entire life. Rhia draws her magic from the earth and likes to spend her time amongst plants and nature. Her practice is gentle, sacred, and-per her family's tradition-secret.
New-to-town witch Valerie Morgan is looking for answers about her mother's disappearance from Oakriver seventeen years ago. Without her mother's guidance, Valerie has cultivated her fire magic on her own and she makes no effort to keep her powers hidden. Although Rhia is immediately annoyed by Valerie's blatant use of magic, she can't deny the instant magnetism between them.
But amidst their magical connection, a dark presence looms over Oakriver. Unsettling visions from Rhia's grandmother and dangerous sleepwalking episodes throw into question Valerie's past and what role her presence plays in the strange happenings. And as Valerie gets tangled up further into the darkness, it's up to Rhia to tap into the full potential of her power in order to save the town she loves and the girl she's fallen for.
