Ruin and Redemption
Welcome back to Preston Academy—feeding on your classmates is strictly prohibited and being cursed isn't a reason to stay away from class.
In a world where death is only the beginning, Avery James' life is shattered when she wakes up in the arms of the very person who betrayed her. As she struggles to navigate through her new existence, she is haunted by eerie nightmares and visions that seem to hold a hidden message.
Avery's struggle to come to terms with her fate is further complicated when she learns that her future is unclear and she could lose everything she holds dear in the blink of an eye.
Driven by desperation, she and her friends are searching for a loophole before her time is up. But before they can find a solution, Avery stumbles upon a centuries-old secret that will change everything she ever thought she knew.

Bianca Mov
In the quiet corners of Vienna, between translating texts and binding books by hand, Bianca Mov found herself drawn to the darker edges of storytelling—the kinds of tales where love isn’t soft and safe, but dangerous, forbidden, and utterly consuming. With a background in Transcultural Communication and Media Studies, she first made a name for herself behind the scenes as a translator and editor. But the stories in her own head wouldn’t wait. In 2021, she began writing what would become her debut fantasy series, and by 2023, her first book, Freedom and Betrayal, was in readers' hands.
Preston Academy
Behind the ivy-covered walls of an elite school hides a truth far more dangerous than bad grades or broken hearts. Preston Academy is a place where secrets aren’t just whispered—they’re weaponized. Where desire walks hand-in-hand with danger, and every friendship might be a carefully masked betrayal.
At the center of it all is Avery—a girl who’s learned to stay quiet, to survive. But when she crosses paths with a magnetic, enigmatic professor, her carefully guarded world begins to unravel. What begins as forbidden attraction spirals into something darker, something tangled in ancient curses and the echo of things long buried. Each book in the series peels back the glossy façade of privilege to reveal a world where power is everything and love might just cost you your soul.
Preston Academy consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of two more books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
