The secret is out: I’m the prophesied scourge, and according to the Legacy Council, my quintet and I must be hunted down and destroyed immediately.
With the size of the bounty they’ve put on our heads, there’s no telling who we can trust. Going on the run feels cowardly, but it’s necessary. We need time to regroup so I can move on to the next step of my plan to free the humans trapped in the Nether.
We also have to figure out how I’m being mysteriously bound to each of my matches. It should be impossible, yet the more we bond against all odds, the more powerful I feel.
Getting closer to them feels so good. No matter what my inevitable fate holds, they make it worth it.
But all this newfound power from bonding is doing something to the shadow heart in my chest—strengthening my link to the Entity and putting my quintet in even more danger.
And not the fun kind.
Amid this two-way game of cat and mouse with immortal monsters and navigating the intricacies of bonding with my quintet, an unexpected secret is emerging from the dark shadows of my past. Something I wasn’t prepared for.
It seems the gods have been playing games.
Fine. Game on.
The series
Some magic binds you. Some magic breaks you.
Read full series description
At Everbound University, legacy is more than a birthright—it’s a sentence. In Cursed Legacies, descendants of the Four Houses are marked by ancient magic, carrying curses so deep they twist fate itself. Their only chance at survival lies in forging a quintet: five souls bound by heart and oath, battling not just external enemies but the darkness blooming inside themselves.
The story follows Maven, a human with hidden magic, thrust into a world where power is inherited, alliances are razor-thin, and secrets can kill. Forced into a quintet with four supernatural heirs, Maven must navigate forbidden bonds, brutal betrayals, and a destiny she never asked for. Trust is dangerous. Love is deadly. And breaking a curse might cost more than her life—it might cost her soul.
Set against the brooding backdrop of dark academia and steeped in paranormal romance, Cursed Legacies weaves slow-burn tension, morally complex characters, and intricate world-building into a saga where every choice carries blood-stained consequences. Across Blood Oath, Shadow Heart, Twisted Soul, and Divine Fate, the series crafts an immersive journey through ambition, loyalty, and the shadows we carry—and sometimes become.
With its haunting atmosphere and emotionally charged storytelling, this series stands out for readers who crave magic with teeth, romance with danger, and characters who fight just as hard against themselves as they do against the forces set to destroy them.
