THE SCARLET INCANTATRIX SERIES
Vampires of Twilight Castle By Asher Sharol
At an academy attended by witches, one student's bloodline will be their salvation... or a curse.
Despite my red hair and divine stubbornness, I thought I was a normal teen girl doing teen girl things. Then it happened... my mother taken by creatures I only see in nightmares. Pale, evil, and annoying handsome. Vampires. Yes, vampires. They exist because hunting vampires and shifters is what I do now at the Witch Academy.
The witches here think I'm special for reasons I'm just beginning to understand. Reasons connected to my mother's disappearance. I rubbished this idea at first, but that was before I realized there's something simmering inside me, something the cutthroat witches here would kill for. Maybe this power is the answer to saving my mom, the reason I'm here. But the whispers also warn of a terrifying choice: embrace the darkness and become the very monster I hunt, or extinguish it and watch the world burn.
Vampires of Twilight Castle is followed by Wolves of Blood and Rule and is PERFECT for fans of Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy and The Vampire Diaries.

Satin, a vampire as old as time, has known centuries of sleepless nights. Yet, Kaia's plight becomes his torment, their destinies intertwined by an ancient pact formed in infancy, a forgotten promise whispered in blood. To atone for past sins, he must battle his own demons and nurture the burgeoning Scarlet Incantatrix within her.
Lycan King Satyrion, consumed by an ambition for dominance, knows the whispers of the prophecy. To establish his reign, he must claim the ultimate prize, the red-haired witch, whom he has marked, now transformed into a potent weapon. He will stop at nothing to control her, his court yearning for her scarlet power.
Secrets rise from the ashes. Alliances shift like desert sands. In the Scarlet Chronicles, loyalty is a double-edged sword, and love might just be the deadliest weapon of all...

Dear Darkness
My sweet darkness
The soul that speaks to you
Knows your name
I call you forth to hold
When my broken heart overflows
And my spirit
Numb
Cries out for a friend
To share pain like sisters
Lost and shattered
This pottery mocks the clay
Fears molding tears into words
They are but deep ravines
Calling your name
Dear darkness
Forsake me not tonight
I have yet more art to craft
From this troubled mind
My sweet darkness...
