Welcome to Darkblood - oops, I mean Darkhen Academy. There are three rules to survive the elite supernatural school: Do not talk or even look at The Seven, the uber-powerful supes that rule the academy. Never go into the Fae forest on a full moon...or else. And most definitely do not fall for one of the extremely hot and unattainable instructors. Too bad I’ve never really been a rule follower... A year ago the supernaturals came out of the closet on primetime TV, and about a minute ago I, Luna Hallows, found out I was one of them - well, a half-blood anyway. So here I am at Darkhen Academy, the only human and no magical abilities to speak of. The only reason I’m here is because of my father - a man I didn’t even know existed until now. He’s crazy powerful, and they think I could be too. But what could I possibly contribute to an exclusive squad of dragon shifters, fae, witches, and vampires? I guess we’re about to find out because the merging of the supernatural and human realms isn’t going as smoothly as planned. If word gets out that humans are no longer safe from the supes, our worlds will once again be closed off. It’s up to us to stop that from happening. This is an upper YA/NA crossover with schmexy supernatural guys and is best suited for age 16 and over. Be warned, the steaminess factor does increase through the course of the series! Darkblood Academy is set within the world of Hitched but it's not necessary to listen to that series first to enjoy this one.

A young man and his friends must fight astronomical odds to save their school, and their very lives against a foe they were never trained to fight, or even imaged could exist.

With the stargate malfunctioning, they have to find a way to get to the academy and mount a rescue while they hope ships with more fire power than they have come soon. In an effort to find a weakness in the ships that aren’t responding to their hails, Skylar and his friends stumble on a secret the Galactic Council has been hiding for hundreds of years. The strange ships and their origins might be more than Skylar is prepared to deal with, and the Council that rules the galaxy is determined to ignore the truth of their secrets. Can Skylar and his friends find the answer to save Stars’ End, or are the odds stacked too much against them? Join Skylar and his friends in this latest adventure and discover new secrets that leave even more questions about Skylar and the galaxy he lives in.
