Dark Fae by Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti (Paperback)

A dark paranormal romantasy set in a divided academy where power, revenge and shifting loyalties shape every move. A young vampire arrives with one goal in mind: to uncover the truth behind her brother’s murder. The only certainty she holds is that one of four powerful kings is responsible, but none of them will make the truth easy to find.

Aurora Academy is controlled by rival factions and dangerous hierarchies, where dragon shifters, basilisks, lion shifters and harpies rule through fear and influence. Each of the four kings carries secrets, and each has reasons to be suspected. As alliances form and break, the academy becomes a place where trust is a liability and survival depends on reading every hidden intention.

Driven by vengeance, she infiltrates the world of the elite, hiding her true purpose while navigating a network of violence, manipulation and attraction. The closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her position becomes, especially as emotional ties begin to blur the line between justice and obsession.

Set in a world of magic, rival gangs and supernatural politics, this story blends romance, suspense and betrayal as every step forward brings her closer to both answers and danger.

Perfect for readers who enjoy reverse harem romance, dark academy settings, fae and shifter worlds, enemies to lovers tension and high-stakes paranormal fantasy.
