About this listen
When I arrived at Darkstone Academy for the Magical Arts as an indentured servant destined to slave away in the kitchens, I never imagined I was actually the lost Princess Jacinthe, second-in-line to the throne of the Dominion.
Since arriving at the isolated island academy for delinquent mage student, my life has become a treacherous dance of emerging power and forbidden desires. Every whisper in these ancient halls speaks of magic and secrets, and every shadow hides hostile eyes watching my every move. But my heart refuses to be caged by fear, especially now when the fate of those I hold dear hangs in the balance.
Darkstone Academy is not just a school for magical outcasts; it's a battleground of political intrigue where human mages, diplomatic hostages, and supernatural beings coexist in a fragile harmony. Here, I found my unlikely allies - the fierce merman Lord Tama, the dragon Prince Boreas, the enigmatic Dark Fae Prince Gwydion, and the troubled but compassionate Lord Ilhan, the Duke of Frankia's heir. Together, we stand against those who seek to use me as a pawn in their power plays. But amidst this chaos, my heart yearns for one who is cursed to never know love.
Gwydion's Curse of Thorns, a sadistic legacy from his dark past, threatens to tear us apart before our love even has a chance to bloom. As we strive to break this curse, we delve into ancient rituals and esoteric knowledge, hoping against hope. Yet, with each step we take, Lady Erzabetta, the academy's cruel chatelaine, weaves her treacherous web around us, threatening to unravel everything we've strived for.
In this deadly game of magic, love, and power, I must confront not only the dangers lurking in every shadowed corner but also the truth within my heart. Will my love for my protectors be the key to our salvation, or will it be our ultimate downfall? As the lines between ally and enemy blur, one thing is certain - the choices I make will either forge our destiny or destroy it.

The name's Jesy Gilchrest, and I'm nobody's fairy princess. I'm a cage fighter, pack leader, and all around badass Alpha Fae. They say I've got a little impulse control problem, and they're right about that. I robbed the Vampire King's castle, and it got me thrown into Poison Penitentiary, home of the most bloodthirsty creatures in the Magical Sect. A dark secret haunts this place, clinging to the air like a disease, and in here, everything goes bump in the night. I'm not worried though. Because I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid. I got caught for a reason.

But when Kieran, a sinfully sexy demigod at the pinnacle of power, crashes into my life, suddenly my whole world is turned upside down. He’s harboring a deadly secret, one that could destroy all he holds dear. He thinks I’m the key to his salvation, and he wants me to help him claim vengeance. He also wants me with a passion.

A depraved monster. I thought there was no escaping the curse. No hope for a future. And then I met my mate in the unlikeliest of places: Blackwood Asylum. A place for criminals. Power-hungry madmen. Supernatural outcasts. And her, the curvaceous writer who sees ghosts.

That's where my life began, where I've lived for the past eight years with the ruling family, the Blitz Clan. It's where I found my best friend Gage, the future leader of this clan. At the time, I didn't question my good fortune because I was happy to know I wasn't alone in this world anymore. But maybe I should have. After landing a shocking invite to Dark Imaginarium Academy, I realized how much of a safe haven the estate was.

Evie Crowe is starting over in a strange town with her newborn, and men are the furthest thing from her mind. If only the quiet, hulking farmer, Luke Ward, would stop coming into the thrift shop and piquing her reluctant interest.

He’s fixed on making this a Christmas Evie will remember forever. If she gives him a chance.

All newly minted pediatrician Jamie Malek wants is to borrow a roasting pan for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.
