Fourth Wing meets Grey’s Anatomy in this dark academia romantasy, the first in a series you won’t want to put down.

The Healer: Maelis was supposed to follow in her father’s footsteps as a village healer in a quiet corner of nowhere. Then her father died, and a sealed parchment summoned her to an academy she never applied to. Now she’s the only human at Ashwell, surrounded by vampires, demons, fae, angels, mages, and shifters who think she won’t last the year. They might be right. Her hands shake every time she picks up a scalpel.

The Vampire: Draven has every reason to want Maelis gone. He tells her she doesn’t belong. He pushes until she breaks. He warns her this place will kill her. But when danger finds her in the corridors, he’s always there first. He’s hiding something but so is she.

The Angel: Jace has been Maelis’s best friend since they were children. He’s the safe choice. The right choice. The boy who has loved her since before he understood what love was. But Maelis is changing at Ashwell, and the version of her Jace fell in love with may not be the one who walks back out.

Ashwell Academy of Medicine and Alchemy trains battlefield healers called Veilguards. Most students don’t graduate. Some don’t survive. And Maelis is about to discover that her acceptance to this school was never an accident.

👻With my person, the love of my life, Malachi. I will become the demon so he can be the savior👻

❤️ Ghost Whisperer
❤️Enemies to Lovers
❤️Dystopian
❤️Ghost Puppy Bestie
❤️ MAJOR Plot Twist

The ending blew my mind. I’m talking my jaw dropped. What a way to wrap up this duet though - Kat’s journey was so epic, I loved that she embraced her powers and all she was able to achieve and do. Her and Malachi are also just my favs. Adorable couple who also is super bad*ss😂 Now onto Bone Year by Ashley 😂😈
