Dark Ascendant Book 1
Brigid has grown up in our mundane, non-magical world. But one night, everything changed. First she is told she has magic, then that she has to go to Grimstone Academy, so she can learn how not to be a danger to herself or others. With wanting answers and not being given a choice, she goes. Entering a world that she knows nothing about and there is more to everyone and thing around her. As well, a feeling of danger around every corner, Grimstone seems like there is a lot more than anyone is telling her.
This is the first book in the Dark Ascendant series. Brigid has always treated as a pariah, so she's very guarded, having deep-rooted trust issues. But she also is kind and wants to understand herself. While the guys Rory, Lochan, Tiernan, Callen and Marius are everything you could want in a book boyfriend. The world is full of magic, fae, witches, vampires, shapeshifters. The story has connections to Celtic Mythology. Once I started reading it, I felt like I was sucked in and couldn’t put it down. I loved this book and can't wait to read the next book, Shattered Veil.

“Until my magic awakened, I didn’t know Grimstone Academy, or the world of magic, existed. Now it might just destroy me.
I’ve always been an outcast, plagued by visions I can’t explain. Now I've been ripped from my quiet life and thrown into a world I never knew existed, the center of a dangerous game that could end me.
Surviving Grimstone means battling bullies, uncovering forbidden secrets, and resisting the pull of five infuriatingly irresistible men:
A grumpy fae warrior who acts like he hates me as much as he protects me.
A silver-tongued prince who never plays fair.
A golden-hearted Irish werewolf hiding a sorrow deeper than I imagined.
A serious druid who sees straight through my walls.
And then there’s the mysterious tattooed loner who knows my darkest truths—and tempts me with even darker promises.
With every answer I find, new questions and dangers emerge. A shadowy king hunts me. A deadly power stirs within me. And as my connection to these men deepens, the line between ally and enemy blurs.
One thing is certain, magic has marked me for something far more than I ever imagined. And destiny always demands a price.”
