Midnight Academia: A Dark Fantasy Monster Romance by 🔥C.B. Blackburn🐰 at Inkitt

Summary

At Midnight Academia, monsters aren’t myths. They’re professors, rulers… and punishments. Selene Luxford was born to power—raised to be flawless, obedient, and dangerous. As the heir to one of the most influential magical bloodlines, failure is not an option. Midnight Academy exists to shape the elite of the supernatural world, enforcing ancient hierarchies between witches, vampires, fae, werewolves, angels, demons, and creatures far older than any of them. But beneath the Academy lies its darkest secret. Midnight. The Headmaster is no man. He is an ancient skinwalker, a godlike monster bound by chains and law, punished for crimes history refuses to forget. He watches. He waits. And when Selene draws his attention, something forbidden stirs between them—something predatory, obsessive, and impossible to control. As political tensions rise and old grudges awaken, Selene must navigate power games, brutal alliances, and her own dangerous desires. Midnight is everything she was taught to fear… and everything that threatens to unravel her carefully constructed life. Midnight Academia is a dark fantasy romance featuring explicit erotic content, monster anatomy, shapeshifting, genderfluid sexuality, and morally grey characters.
