This is a full-length, standalone prequel novel with HEA. (18+ only! Please see TW's in book or complete CW's at https://gwinsavage.com.) Polyamory is practiced in this world, and the FMCs will be a throuple by the end. This story contains two different timelines and is told in alternating past and present tense.
In the United Kinvarrea Realm, women who love other women are the only ones born as mages or Vampires. Most try to hide what they are.
When Evie is sent to Spurnwater Island to attend the infamous paranormal reform academy, it's certainly not by choice. Unfortunately, as a Vampire and a ruined woman, it's her last option. The last thing she expects is to fall for her fellow classmate—the sweet and pretty Rion. Even more surprising? The Fixer who shattered Evie's heart a year and a half ago reappears as her instructor.
Her chemistry with the beguiling Gymma is just as volatile, awakening the demon on Evie's shoulder and toying with her emotions all over again. (Tropes include strangers to lovers, new adult, 2nd chance hate-to-love, forced proximity, body betrayal, spice, "good girl", spanking, menage in the epilogue.)
Author's Note: this story features a messy, slightly unhinged FMC who grows from her experiences. It takes place in a patriarchal world inspired by the 1930s, where women are punished for being different. This is a prequel; the series will explore themes of feminine rage and women taking back their lost power as it unfolds.
