Blood Heir: A Reverse Harem Paranormal Academy Romance (The Blackthorn Academy Series Book 1) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798247535553)

They were sent to destroy me. Instead, they're claiming me.

I'm Sage Blackthorn -- the last heir to a bloodline everyone wants dead.

My ancestors built the magical hierarchy that gives the founding families their power. Blood magic flowing through bonds, amplifying abilities, keeping the commons weak and the elite strong. It's been that way for centuries.

But here's the part they don't advertise: my family discovered the bonds were degrading. Killing people slowly. When my mother tried to fix it, the Council slaughtered every Blackthorn they could find.

Except me.

Now I'm eighteen and they've dragged me to Ashworth Academy -- the school for magical elites where four heirs rule everything. Kai Stormhollow, all lightning and arrogance. Ash Nightfall, shadows and secrets. Declan Ashworth, ice-cold dominion magic. Ronan Graves, a healer who knows too much.

Their orders? Make sure I never become a threat. Break me, control me, or eliminate me.

But blood magic doesn't just amplify bonds -- it can remake them. And these four heirs are about to learn that the girl they're supposed to destroy might be the only one who can save them all.

The bonds are failing. The hierarchy is crumbling. And I have a choice: let everyone die when the system collapses, or burn it down myself and build something better from the ashes.

Even if it means bonding with the four heirs sent to kill me.

Even if loving them destroys everything the founding families built.

Even if the revolution I'm starting gets us all killed.
