She thought the crown was the end of her story.
She was wrong. It was only the beginning of her submission.
Welcome back to Blackwood Academy, where the rites are sacred, the bonds are brutal, and the gods beneath the vaults demand not love—but obedience. In this dark academy romance series with ritual kink, erotic trials, and reverse harem dynamics, power is never freely given. It must be taken, surrendered, and earned.
Seraphine Vale returns for her fourth semester at Blackwood—no longer just the girl who was bled for. No longer just the Queen of the Circle. She walks through the gates alone, wearing a glyph no one can name, carrying a bond no one can control. The boys who once worshipped her are fractured: Cassian watches but won’t speak, Ronan returns in chains, Silas kneels without permission, and Evander may have finally broken the circle beyond repair.
And the new Headmaster? He doesn’t want loyalty.
He wants her to kneel.
In a semester drenched in sacred punishments, veiled rituals, and public obedience rites, Seraphine is no longer worshipped. She is watched. Judged. Tested. And punished. The god that sleeps within the bond—Vel’ithar—is awakening, reshaping her from within. As the mirror glyphs begin to rewrite themselves in blood, Seraphine is drawn into a darker kind of power.
One not earned through control.
But through submission.
Will she take the collar this time?
Or make the Circle wear it for her?
Because when pleasure becomes ritual, and obedience becomes the only currency of survival, the girl who once ruled the throne must decide:
Will she let herself be broken?
Or will she choose to submit—and still rise?
This is not a love story.
This is an initiation.
