Witchmark Society: A Dark Magical Academy Romantasy

A Magical Academy with Romance Series Book 1

A dangerous mark. A secret society. A dark magical academy romantasy where power always comes with a price.

Rowan Calder never wanted to enter a magical academy with romance, rivalries, and rituals carved in blood. But when her sister’s life is threatened, she’s forced to attend Arcanum Lyceum—a prestigious academy built on secrets, ambition, and ancient power. Her forbidden birthmark, a rune that should not exist, draws the attention of the Witchmark Society, the academy’s most feared hidden order.

The Society claims Rowan’s mark can awaken a long-buried force beneath the school. They bind her with contracts sealed in magic and drag her into rituals meant to reshape destiny itself. But the Lyceum is a maze of shifting halls, dangerous trials, and whispered betrayals. And Rowan quickly discovers the academy is more deadly than the Society that rules it.

Her only allies in this dark magical academy romantasy are as complicated as the power awakening under her skin: Idris Vale, a brilliant alchemist raised to lead the Society—and her infuriating academic rival—and Vesper Thorn, a nonbinary seer whose visions reveal a truth Rowan isn’t ready to face. Together they uncover a conspiracy that reaches through the catacombs and into the heart of the academy’s magic.

But the deeper Rowan is pulled into this magical academy with romance and danger entwined, the more her mark begins to pulse with something alive…something watching…something waiting.

If you love a dark magical academy romantasy filled with forbidden power, secret societies, and slow-burn tension, this book will pull you under its spell.
