She planned to be the terror in his life.
He planned to ignore her.
Neither planned on saving a crumbling empire from a tyrant—or falling in love.

A MEMORY OF MOONKISSED MALICE Fantasy Dark Academia Feminine Rage Vampires Corrupted Moon Magic Villain Era Protag Queendoms Enemies to Lovers Found Family
THE PITCH 18-year-old Alyss Veylas wishes to attend Nocturne Collegiate for one reason—revenge. Five long years after her sister was murdered by the school's guardian, she finally gets that chance. Armed with a Moon Fragment granting memory magic and the aid of her ex and his new girlfriend, Alyss must confront the woman who took away the person she loved most.
CHAPTER ONE The rain made it easier to rob his grave. My shovel carved through the sodden earth, the water contorting into murky veins around its edge. Desperation drove each labored thrust, the burning ache in my muscles but an afterthought to the prize that lied in wait. Even the Valera Forest held its breath; the fog thick enough to smother the night's whispers. All was silent save for the spilling of soil under the deluge that drenched us. Us. As I lifted my gaze to the boy standing across from me, I found that word had lost all semblance of warmth.
FOR FANS OF... The lush, gothic prose of... A fantasy academia setting similar to... A supernatural mystery like...
ONE DARK WINDOW X KATABASIS
Alyss attends Nocturne Collegiate for one reason—revenge. With the (reluctant) help of her ex, her ex bff, & a devious half-vampire, she'll use memory magic to uncover the truth behind the murder that destroyed her life.🌙🦇⚔️
