Ironside is more than a regular academy. It’s also the biggest reality TV show in the world … and a very elaborate, very luxurious prison.

Their hallowed halls are ruled by the Betas, Omegas, and Deltas—but this year, the officials are stirring things up.

Isobel Carter—the only rare Sigma to be accepted—is the first sign. But there are others. Many others. A sudden influx of powerful Alphas will turn academy life, and Isobel’s life, upside down.

She might be the lowest rung on the ladder, but in order to survive Ironside, where social media is king and consequences are deadly, she will need to make her mark.

She will need to climb.

This isn’t a game for the faint of heart, and those who rise should be prepared for a beautiful, brutal fall.

Beware the pretty posers, because this social media game just got dangerous.

The Hunger Games collides with America's Got Talent, and you've just been invited to binge it all in high definition. But here's some viewer discretion before you continue:

This series has as many love interests as enemies, with all the focus on the main character. Expect a delicious slow burn where you'll never have to pick your favourite shade of morally grey.

Readers, meet your new guilty pleasure.

Now it's time to grab some popcorn and dive right in!

Full series details →

At Ironside Academy, magic is more than just a skill—it's a weapon, a secret, and a way of life. But for the students of this prestigious school, not everyone is prepared for the trials that come with being thrust into a world of power, danger, and deception. Ironside Academy isn’t just another school story—it’s a labyrinth of hidden secrets, fierce friendships, and thrilling challenges that test the limits of its characters and their bonds.

Read full series description

Within these walls, magic is a dangerous force, and the stakes are higher than anyone could have anticipated. Each student carries their own baggage, their own ambitions, and their own dark pasts, all of which collide as they navigate an academy where nothing is quite what it seems. Whether it's mastering their powers or surviving the complicated webs of school politics, the characters of Ironside Academy will need more than just skill to make it through. They’ll need to trust in each other, even when everything is falling apart.

As the series unfolds, readers are invited into a world that feels both familiar and completely unexpected. The academy is a place of transformation—not just for its students, but for readers who get lost in the intricate, dynamic relationships between characters and the unpredictable twists in each storyline. From the very first page, Ironside Academy hooks readers with its heart-pounding action, emotional depth, and a magic system that feels as alive as its characters.

At its core, Ironside Academy is about identity—finding your place, questioning your power, and understanding the truth of who you are in a world that doesn’t always make room for it. The series is a blend of fantasy, adventure, and a touch of romance, all set against a backdrop that challenges the very notion of magic and its cost.

Get ready to experience a magical world where not all is as it seems, and the greatest test may be discovering who you can trust—starting with yourself. Ironside Academy is an unforgettable journey that promises to leave readers questioning what it truly means to wield power—and how far they’re willing to go to protect what they love.
