Description

★★★★★ — "The magic system is unique and really cool!"

★★★★★ — "This is soooo Slytherin coded!"

★★★★★ — "A nice blend of romance, magic and mythology!"

Revised and Expanded Edition (June 2025): Includes 8 new chapters, an exclusive epilogue, and expanded world lore.

A dark magic academy, fated mate bonds, and secret societies collide in this Greek mythology-inspired romantasy. If you love Throne of Glass, Sailor Moon, and Harry Potter, welcome to Academy of Villains.

In a kingdom where magic is slowly disappearing, an evil king expands his territory to gain more power, destroying towns and villages along the way. He collects the orphaned children with no magic and trains them as assassins in his army to be used as weapons against his enemies. Meanwhile, those who possess magic are sent to a ruthless academy to train as mages, ruling with cruelty under the evil king’s expanding reign.

Kiara, once an assassin for the king, infiltrates the magic academy to slay the prince and end the royal bloodline. But within the academy's walls, she discovers a startling truth—she has magic.

The Cursed Prince will tempt her.

Secret societies will hunt her.

And the mysterious headmaster hides sinister truths of his own.

As students begin to vanish and Heartstrings are forged, Kiara's quest for vengeance turns into a battle for survival—and a choice between love and destiny as she finds herself torn between killing the prince or saving the world with him.
