Dedication
For every woman who was told she was too much.
You are.
That’s the whole point.

I was never supposed to be here. I'm Reverie Harrow. I have two jobs, a studio apartment, and a very strong opinion about anyone who tries to tell me what to do. What I don't have is fae blood — or so I thought, until the Culling stone exploded on a Tuesday night and took my entire life with it. Now I'm at Vaelthorn Academy, the most dangerous institution in either world, with no court behind me, no allies, and a power nobody can explain. The rules here are brutal, the Trials are designed to break you, and neutral status means every pureblood in this building sees me as a target. Except for four of them. Cadriel Noctari — Shadow Court heir, cold as the dark he commands, and assigned to watch me for reasons nobody will say out loud. Raffael Embervast — arrogant, combustible, and furious that I'm the first person who's ever refused to be impressed by him. Silvyr Thornwick — quiet, steady, and the first person in this building who looks at me like I'm something to be careful around rather than something to be used. Zivian Morvaine — all charm and sharp edges, and not nearly as uncomplicated as he wants me to think. I didn't come here to fall for anyone. I came here to survive. The problem is that something ancient in this academy has decided I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be — and the four most dangerous males at Vaelthorn are starting to agree. Court of Shattered Shadows is Book One of The Culling Courts series — a dark fae academy reverse harem romance. It ends on a cliffhanger and contains explicit content, morally grey characters, and a heroine who takes absolutely no prisoners.
For every woman who was told she was too much.
You are.
That’s the whole point.
