Nella Thorn

"Never let them know how powerful you are. The one that defeats you is the one you underestimate.“

Jade thought she'd left magic behind—until her old tattoo starts burning like a warning siren. Now she's back at Hunt Academy, the elite training ground for witches and mages. But this isn't the school she remembers. Students are dying. Shadows whisper her name. Everyone says her powerful, dangerous father isn’t involved… but Jade knows better. With secrets buried under every spell and dark rituals stirring in the night, she’s pulled into a mystery no one wants her to solve. Magic might be her weapon, but it's also the trap—and Jade is done playing nice.

I had him shackled and bound, but he was still in control. "I want to break you apart," he growled. So I whispered, "Then earn it." He will.

When an immortal dragon refuses to pay love’s price, the balance of fate shatters. Desire turns dangerous, devotion burns like fire, and the line between ruin and redemption grows razor-thin. In a realm where gods can fall and mortals can rise, obsession might just be the only way to survive.
