Flower Moon Rising


Quinn Arthurs - 2019
     Or it would be, if my classmates weren’t werewolves. Everyone attending Lupine Hollow Academy, one of the most prestigious private schools in Connecticut, is a werewolf. Everyone, that is, except for me. I’m human—pathetically, weakly, ordinarily human. After my mother’s death, the Alpha of Lupine Hollow welcomes me into his pack in order to keep me safe. However, safety isn’t the first thing on the minds of the students—or teachers—who make up the pack. They’re far more worried about how I would taste or how I’d look smeared across a wall. Despite the drama, the hazing, the ridiculously hard classes, and the pain, I have to make my mark here—I will make my mother proud, no matter the cost. If I manage not to become the next meal, that is. With the Flower Moon Rising, I’ll be faced with challenges I never could have imagined as my fantasy world is brought to life. Will its glow be my demise, or a chance at a future more incredible than I ever could have dreamed? ***This novel is a full-length paranormal reverse harem/poly-amorous/mature high school romance novel. This book contains foul language and sexual scenarios. *This is a full-length novel, expanded from the previous anthology piece included in Magic and Mayhem anthology.

We don’t live in the Middle Ages, so I have yet to be subjected to an exorcism. I can get treatment for my condition. Epilepsy aside, I can mostly be a normal person and have a normal life. There’s just one problem. I’m not a normal person. I never have been. And the first time I find this out is upon receiving an exclusive invitation to The Academy of the Devil. Unfortunately, the Academy of the Devil isn’t like other schools and the current princes of the school have a lot of experience in ripping whatever contender they have to shreds. First, there’s Callum, incubus extraordinaire and leader of the house of Lust. He thrives on making students fall in love of him and then breaking their spirits. Then there’s Mikael, the envious cambion, rumored to enjoy feeding students to the school’s dragon. And last, but not least, the leader of the house of Wrath, the hell hound Stefan. I hear he doesn’t bother with the dragon and just takes care of pests himself. All of them despise humans. All of them sneer at anyone who displays any kind of weakness. All of them hate me and everything I stand for. That’s fine. I don’t need friends, lovers, or even valued mentors. All I need is to survive my school years with my soul, my sanity and my brain intact. It’ll be a challenge, but I’ve dealt with worse. I might not be ready for the Academy of the Devil, but they’re not ready for me either. The Academy of the Devil is a paranormal bully reverse harem romance.
