"A mortal girl. An immortal academy. A monster who can't stay away."

SATANIC SHADOWS

The Broken Realms Series: Book 1 by Leigh Rivers

In the shadows, he waits. And she was never meant to survive his world.

WHEN MORTALITY MEETS IMMORTALITY

Seraphine Winters lived an ordinary life — until the night she was taken.

Dragged from everything she knows, she wakes in Quarterion Academy, a brutal fortress where immortal beings rule the halls and humans barely survive. Here, power is everything… and Seraphine has none.

Her only chance to escape is to pass every trial the academy throws at her — or die trying.

And then there's Dane Dalton. Deadly. Untouchable. Darkly fascinated by the mortal girl who shouldn't even be alive in his realm.

Dane knows every rule, every secret, every shadow that clings to this cursed academy — and for reasons Seraphine doesn't understand, he wants her.

He watches her.

Protects her.

Tests her.

And if she isn't careful… he might claim her.

But the walls of Quarterion hide more lies than truths, and a centuries-old curse is tightening around them both.

As Seraphine uncovers the darkness binding their fates,
she realizes one thing:
Surviving this place means trusting the one man she should fear the most.
