One Kind of Wicked

The True and the Crown Book 1

by
May Dawson

Genre:
Reverse Harem Fantasy Romance

There’s no place like Avalon, land of mists and magic. Exiled to your world
for my father’s sins, I longed for home. But Avalon is no place for
the dark lord’s daughter.

Until I’m invited home to attend the academy of magic. I’m no fool. I
know there are strings attached.

Those strings may have something to do with three handsome, alluring men
who befriend me.

I can’t trust them, but I can’t resist the pull I feel for them,
either. It’s been a long time since I had friends.

I don’t know how long I’ll last at the academy. My father’s
henchmen, the True, want me to restore his wicked glory. The Crown
wants to use me to destroy the True.

And in the midst of all this swirling intrigue,
I’m getting abysmal grades in both Calculus *and* Casting.

These men seem determined to tutor me, fix me and most of all, protect me.

But my deep, dark secret is that the dread magician’s
daughter…doesn’t have her magic anymore.

When they realize how useless I am, will they still stand by my side?

Welcome to a world where redemption is possible, where friendship and
adventure and magic abound, and where love means never having to choose.

One Kind of Wicked is the first in a five-book university-age academy

“Didn’t you already lecture me enough yesterday?”

“It’s a new day,” he says.

“So the counter resets?” I tease.

The teasing sound in my voice surprises me. It sounds like I’m comfortable with Airren.

“You clearly need a lot of lecturing.” We reach the end of the building, and he jerks his head to the left. Together, we walk around the corner towards the garden.

“Oh? Well, let’s get today’s over with.”

“Your tone sucks. You could give people a chance to be kind to you.” He delivers this bit without any rancor at all. “Be a little bit brave, Tera.”

“I’m brave,” I assure him, suddenly heated all over again.

“Show me, then.”

I shake my head, even though I’m not refusing. “It would help if I understood why. Look around, Airren. Most people don’t want to be my friend.”

“Why do you act like you think they’re right?”

I face him, stubborn and frustrated. “I know you want something from me. I just don’t know what it is yet.”

He stares back at me, his blue eyes soft.

“I don’t know who really invited me to come to this school,” I say. “I don’t know why I was pardoned. I don’t know who’s paying my tuition or delivered my books to my door.”

“I can answer one of those mysteries.” He shoves his hands in his pockets, which makes his shoulders hunch slightly. That hunch is pretty damn cute.

“Yeah?”

He nods. “I noticed your bookcase was bare. Your suitcase didn’t roll right. Your sheets don’t fit your bed. Your wardrobe is…” He paused, blowing a whistling sound through his pursed lips that ends in the sound of an explosion. “Well.”

“Are you going to insult me all night?”

“Probably,” he deadpans. “So I had Mycroft send me your class list and I bought your books.”

I shake my head.

“I know, I know,” he says. “The terrible things I do that show you that you can’t trust me.”

Two Kinds of Damned

The True and the Crown Book 2

The True want me. The Crown wants to use me. But what do I want?

The Academy of magic doesn’t have frat parties; it has balls with tuxedos and
flowing champagne and chocolate fountains. Oh, and masked debauchery.
Lots of that.

Unfortunately, instead of enjoying the debauchery with the three alluring magicians
I’m falling for, I’m there to draw out the True henchmen. I’m
nothing but bait in a ball gown.

To serve my country—and to stay in Avalon—I need to play the part of a
villain. The True need to think I can be persuaded stand alongside
them as they destroy Avalon.

At least these three men see me as I really am: a woman who just wants a second chance.

Unfortunately, they’re hiding secrets of their own…

And some of those secrets will be revealed, even before the masks come off.

Three Kinds of Lost

The True and the Crown Book 3

The University of magic is no place for the dark lord’s daughter…and
the Crown Prince’s birthday ball is no place for her either.

But it’s not the kind of invitation that a girl can reject. So, my men and I
pack up our fancy clothes and off we go to the prince’s castle. We
have a mission along the way. The secrets that have kept me safe
until now are crumbling. I need my magic back, now.

Without my magic, without being useful to the Crown, I can look forward to a
one-way ticket back to your world.

Or a one-way ticket to dead.

But while my men and I hunt the man who stole my magic and destroyed part of my soul…

…he’s hunting me too.

By the time our battle is over, every truth will be revealed. Every lie will be destroyed.

Will Avalon ever be the same?

Will my heart?
