Emberhold Academy Series

Exordium opens the series as Reverie Hawthorne arrives at Emberhold Academy determined to honor her family's legacy by forming her Faction. Her Nexus status—hidden but immense—draws the wrong kind of attention from Dark Faction and a corrupt council while she navigates academy politics, mean-girl rivals, and the first stirrings of bonds with the men who will become her Faction.

The first book ends on a cliffhanger. Rated 18+ for sexual content and dark themes; check trigger warnings.

Inter continues Reverie's first year at Emberhold as her strange abilities defy explanation, mean girls escalate their campaign, and Dark Faction begins making decisive moves. With war possibly on the horizon and her Faction still incomplete, Reverie faces compounding pressures that test every advantage she thought she had.

The second book ends on a cliffhanger and is recommended for 18+ readers. Check trigger warnings before reading.

Primitus is a prequel novella set before Reverie's birth, following her mother Adelaide's experience forming her own Faction at Emberhold Academy—the friendships and rivalries that shaped the world Reverie inherited.

A shorter installment offering context for the legacy Reverie carries, showing how rivals became enemies when laughter still felt possible and hope still dared to linger.

Exitus closes the series with Reverie captured and broken in Selene's grasp, her secrets extracted by force. Her Faction hunts her through blood and shadow while the path back to Aurathia demands they become something monstrous.

The finale is the final installment in the three-book main series and does not end on a cliffhanger, delivering Reverie's rise from captive to unstoppable force. Rated 18+ with dark themes throughout; check trigger warnings before reading.
