Cruel Magic: Royals of Villain Academy, Book 1
<p><b>I thought I was ordinary Rory Franco: college student, artist, and over-protected daughter. Then, mages barge into my family’s home, murder my parents, and whisk me off to a university known as Villain Academy.</b><br />  </p> <p>It turns out I’m Persephone Bloodstone, the long lost heir to one of the five royal families of dark magic. I’m destined to learn how to manipulate the world with fear - and to stand beside the four other scions: the scorching-hot, arrogant young men who rule this school.<br />  </p> <p>The four of them crush anyone who doesn’t kowtow. No way in hell will I bow to any villain, no matter how brutally alluring. They can turn on the charm or tear me down, but they can’t break me. <br />  </p> <p>They’ve never met anyone like me before. I don’t care about ruling. I just want to avenge the people I loved.<br />  </p> <p>It doesn’t matter what kind of magic runs through my veins. I’m taking Villain Academy down.<br />  </p> <p><i>Cruel Magic </i>is the first in a university-age paranormal academy series. Expect magical villainy, a tough heroine who bends to no one’s will, a dollop of steam, and a slow-burn reverse harem romance where there'll be no choosing required.</p>
