"It is easier for our eyes to see what is in the shadows when we aren't bathed in light," Amoya says, looking at me with concern. I shake my head at her a little. "That's an odd thing to say, because shadows only exist because of light, Amoya," I reply. "Yes. But you see, Ophelia...that's exactly the problem..." ---------------------------------------------------- Ophelia Landry was born to be extraordinary—so why does she feel so broken? As the heir to the most powerful Lycan pack and the daughter of a celebrated Fae, Ophelia should command magic, shift beneath the full moon, and shine with divine light. Instead, she’s eighteen, powerless, wolfless, and quietly unraveling under the weight of expectations she can’t meet. But everything changes when she arrives at Vale Institute—a university unlike any other—where her anonymity grants her space to breathe for the first time. Among her eclectic new roommates is Ares, a mysterious, socially awkward student with a mind like a library and a past cloaked in shadows. As Ophelia and Ares grow closer, their friendship stirs something dormant inside her—something that could change everything. Together, they must uncover what lies beneath their respective missing pieces and the ancient forces at play. Can love spark the light she’s been missing? Or was she never meant to stay in the shadows?

Eliana 'Ella' Reva makes the decision for her sixth form/college years to leave the bustling city of London and to go back to the rural area of Hampshire to attend a prestigious boarding school called Exton College. She immediately befriends her roommate Freya, a stunning and extremely confident sixteen year old. What Ella doesn't know - yet - is that the boarding school is no ordinary school, and her roommate is far from ordinary too. Exton College is a school for the supernatural. Ella's heritage soon comes into question as she stumbles upon the true nature of the school despite the heavy enchantments that hide the supernatural element of the school from the human students....except Ella is meant to be human, so what does that make her? After learning about the destined mates of Lycans and their strong mate bonds, Ella tries her best to ignore her growing connection with Freya's aloof older brother Austin, the heir to the Golden Lycans pack. Ella's journey of self discovery quickly picks up pace as she learns about her true nature and heritage and her place in the future conflict between the forces of light and dark...all while navigating the usual concerns and dramas of being a teenage girl on the cusp of adulthood. Ella's first year at Exton won't be boring...

Sequel to The Golden Lycans featuring Austin's younger sister Serena. Takes place six years later. I would recommend reading the first one. **There are a number of songs quoted throughout. I did not write these songs!*** ... Everything is connected....and She has a plan.... Serena Landry is the youngest of the rather notable Landry family. She is just starting her final year at her family's legacy institution; Exton College. The more carefree and free-spirited of the Landry children, her father and older brother worry about her trajectory in life; starting with the company she keeps at school and her lack of attention in class. She starts the year immediately confronted with the realisation of how vacuous and meaningless her existing friendships have been - if they were ever friendships in the first place. Feeling a bit lost and in need of a radical change in her social life, Serena decides to change where she sits in her Law class on a whim, striking up a friendship with Christa, a human girl who introduces Serena to something and someone she was never expecting to find... Serena soon realises there is a far greater purpose to what is happening in her life and indeed those around her, particularly when she steps back and sees the big picture, eventually seeing how one singular moment at the start of term had a resounding effect on her life. Serena eventually realises that everything she and her family are going through is all connected and all in aid of one specific purpose; a purpose that the Goddess has in mind to make happen, something that will change the lives of supernaturals and humans across the world...forever.
