I learn that the first night I’m locked in the faculty tower with no way out. Guys are howling outside my window. There is a girl walking on the roof. And I swear one kid keeps licking his lips every time he sees me. I need to escape, but there is something alluring about the men who want me to stay. I’m drawn to them, even when I know I should run for my life. Strong. Gorgeous. Sculpted muscles for miles. But did I mention they aren’t human? I have no plans to give in to them, no matter what they swear my purpose is, until I discover that without me the innocent inside the school could become orphans—or worse—snatched up by a rogue agency. I’m used to taking care of myself, and fighting for everything I have, but saving them feels impossible. I’m strong enough to stand my ground against five of the hottest men I’ve ever met if it means saving lives, right? I didn’t know destiny could be so tempting or so dangerous. Get ready to sink your teeth into this full-length reverse harem paranormal fantasy academy romance about the adults who run the school. Shadow Wood Academy Chronicles Book One is the first in a series with a smart, independent heroine and her five scorching hot men.
