The Death Dealer’s Harem: A Dark Academy Reverse Harem

Dark Academy Reverse Harem - Why Choose Death Series Book 1

She didn’t just raise the dead.
She gave them life—memories, voices, hunger, and unfinished love.

Vesper Mortis has spent years hiding what she is. Not a harmless medium. Not a student with a grim party trick. She can command the dead… and when her power detonates during a brutal campus attack, an army answers her call.

Instead of help, she’s dragged to Grimhaven Academy—the most notorious institution for death-magic practitioners. Grimhaven doesn’t “save” dangerous students. It contains them… studies them… and, when necessary, executes them.

Her fate is placed in the hands of the academy’s four most feared elites: the Reapers. They’re ordered to train her to control her power—or end her before she becomes a world-breaking threat.

But Vesper isn’t a normal necromancer. She doesn’t just animate corpses. She can grant temporary true life, thinning the Veil between realms with every breath she steals back from death. That makes her the most valuable prize in the supernatural world… and the most hunted.

As rival necromancer covens close in and the academy tightens its leash, Vesper is forced into the Reapers’ secured wing—four dangerous men whose magic was made to kill… and whose instincts turn violently protective the moment someone touches what they’ve claimed.

Yet the dead whisper warnings through the walls. The attack that awakened her power wasn’t random. Someone inside Grimhaven orchestrated it—someone who wants the Death Dealer for a purpose far worse than murder.

Welcome to a Dark Academy Reverse Harem where survival means power, trust is a weapon, and love is the most dangerous spell of all.
