About HELLFIRE ACADEMY

HELLFIRE ACADEMY: A Young Adult Paranormal Fantasy of Demons, Secret Bloodlines, Forbidden Magic, and Trials Seventeen year old Emma Hale has spent her life believing that fire killed her mother. On the night of her final school examination, a mark burns across her palm and exposes a truth hidden from her since birth. Emma is not cursed by fire. She carries the blood of an ancient line known as the Cinder Heirs, descendants of humans who once made a sacred pact with the imprisoned demon kings beneath the old world. She is taken to Hellfire Academy, a secret school built inside the ruins of an ancient monastery on a black volcanic island in the Tyrrhenian Sea. The academy does not train students to become heroes. It trains them to survive trials designed to control dangerous bloodlines, sealed demons, relic magic, and forbidden powers that can either defend the human world or break the prison beneath it. At the academy, Emma meets James Mercer, a quiet and disciplined student whose family serves the Order of Saint Velian, the ancient council that hunts demon bloodlines. James has been raised to believe that people like Emma are threats waiting to happen. Yet he is also hiding a secret. His family is not only guarding the academy. They are guarding the truth about Emma’s mother, the vanished founder of the Cinder Heirs, and the old betrayal that made love between their bloodlines forbidden. As Emma’s power grows, so does her connection to James. Their love becomes dangerous because her blood can open the prison under the academy, while his can close it forever. If they touch during a trial, their powers respond like flame and iron. If they choose each other, they may awaken the one demon the academy was built to keep asleep. The mystery at the center of the novel is not simply who Emma is. It is why her mother erased her from the records, why James was ordered to watch her, and why the academy’s oldest bell begins ringing without a hand to move it. ORDER NOW!
