Stay hidden. Stay safe.

Kit Kingston knows three things: keep your head down, trust no one, and never reveal what you truly are.

In a world where supernatural power can be as dangerous as it is coveted, Kit Kingston is a siphon - someone who can draw off excess magic before it destroys its wielder. When she's given an ultimatum by the Council - attend their elite Darkwood University or face "containment" - she realizes her gift is more curse than blessing.

Once at the Council's prestigious academy, Kit finds herself thrust into their deadly game of politics and power. Her ability to prevent magical burnout makes her valuable to four of the most powerful heirs on campus:

Jace Abbott: the brooding heir to a powerful magical dynasty who's as irresistible as he is dangerous.

Cade Paxton: whose charming facade masks untold power.

Ash Larue: a shadow-walker and protector cloaked in mystery.

and

Micah Lawrence: whose burning passion can both heal and destroy.

As Kit forms unprecedented bonds with these men, she discovers the university's true purpose for siphons is darker than anyone suspected. With ancient secrets lurking in the halls and forces beyond her control working to either exploit or destroy her, Kit must decide who to trust - and what price she's willing to pay for the hearts that have claimed hers.

Because behind the glamour of the supernatural elite lies the Covenant - a shadowy organization of ancient families whose influence shapes every aspect of magical society. Their private clubs and secret ceremonies aren't just displays of wealth and power; they're calculated moves in a generations-old game of control. For centuries, they've used siphons to maintain their dominance, treating them as commodities rather than people. And they have a presence on the campus of which very few are aware...

The Covenant series is a dark Why Choose academy romance featuring multiple love interests which will build over time, complex magical systems, and a heroine who refuses to be controlled. Perfect for fans of dark academia, supernatural romance, and stories where the found family is just as important as the love story.
