Mythos University 3 (Mythos University #3) by Alan Moria
Unrated

The Mythos University welcomes you.

When Leo started college, all he wanted was to be just another ordinary student. During the years he would spend at Mythos, he wouldn’t be a dragon god, a prince, or even his parents’ son. Living and studying there, he would have the chance to be the kind of person who goes to parties after classes, makes friends with classmates, and maybe even asks a girl out. The kind of person—student—whose biggest worries are bad grades, getting turned down by a cute girl, and boring or unlikeable teachers. He should have known things wouldn’t be that simple.

Well, he did make friends, went to some parties, and even started dating more than one girl, something he was quite proud of. However, in less than a semester at college, the young dragon found himself in more trouble than he could have imagined. And this time, he couldn’t blame Thalia or Morgana.

He had barely gotten used to his dorm room mattress when his nature and an impulsive choice to help a classmate put him face-to-face with something that, in hindsight, he might not have been ready to handle. However, this was about to change.

Thanks to Tris, Leo and Alice found out about Calabar, a demon prince who seemed to know a few things about the mysterious organization behind the recent incidents. And, with a little help from a certain dragon goddess, Calabar would share his knowledge, albeit reluctantly.

Leo didn’t know the extent of Calabar’s knowledge, but every piece of information would be extremely important. This information, after all, could give them the chance they had been waiting for—to stop being on the defensive and merely reacting. Depending on what they could extract from the demon prince, they could be the ones on the offensive, finally bringing peace and resolution to all the wronged, all the victims.

This time, Leo and Alice would be ready for whatever awaited them, and no amount of homework would stop them from seeing it through to the end! They just wouldn’t say that aloud where a professor might hear them...

There are some fates that even gods know better than to provoke.

Alan Moria

Alan Moria doesn’t write about magic because it’s flashy—he writes about it because it asks the hardest questions in the quietest moments. Born into a world shaped by inherited stories and hand-me-down paperbacks—most memorably a stack of Agatha Christie mysteries from his great-grandmother—Moria grew up treating fiction not as an escape, but as a mirror. One that reflects the fragility of identity, the thrill of resistance, and the aching desire to belong somewhere, even if that “somewhere” exists beyond the known world.

His breakout series, Mythos University, captures this ethos perfectly. Set in a post-Revelation world where humans and supernaturals are forced into uneasy coexistence, the story centers on Leo, a student who wishes to remain invisible in a world determined to spotlight his secrets. But this isn’t just another magic academy fantasy—it’s a layered, character-driven exploration of what it means to be ordinary when the world insists you're not. Moria uses urban fantasy as a vehicle for examining deeper emotional truths: the fear of being seen, the cost of fitting in, and the courage it takes to choose your own path.

In Harmony, Moria turns the lens toward those left behind by magical systems—people like Nate, who lives without power in a society obsessed with it. Rather than offering wish fulfillment, the book quietly asserts the dignity of endurance, of finding value beyond flashy abilities. It’s this quiet confidence in his storytelling—anchored in character, tinged with melancholy, and threaded through with hope—that makes Moria’s work resonate with readers looking for more than just spectacle.

While he’s still gaining recognition in the wider fantasy community, Moria has already carved out a niche among readers who crave immersive world-building and emotionally grounded narratives. Off the page, he’s as unassuming as the protagonists he writes—more likely to be found gaming or binge-watching a new series than chasing the spotlight.

For readers drawn to modern fantasy that dares to ask intimate questions beneath epic stakes, Moria’s stories offer something rare: magic that feels honest.

Mythos University

At Mythos University, magic isn’t a gift—it’s a reckoning. In a world where the veil between myth and reality shattered decades ago, supernaturals live side-by-side with humans in tense coexistence, and every student on campus carries the weight of a legacy they didn’t choose. Some are training to become symbols of peace. Others are just trying to survive unnoticed.

At the heart of the story is Leo, a young man who desperately wants to disappear into the background. But when ancient powers stir and secrets claw their way to the surface, he finds that even the quietest students can become central to the world's unraveling. What begins as a journey through the tangled politics and forbidden magics of a university built on compromise soon becomes something deeper: a meditation on identity, resistance, and the quiet rebellion of choosing who you want to be in a world that’s already decided for you.

This isn't your typical magic academy fantasy. The tone is moody, the power structures are fractured, and the characters are achingly real—equal parts lost and defiant. With subtle world-building and emotionally resonant storytelling, the series carves out space for slow-burn tension, moral ambiguity, and the kind of introspective fantasy that lingers long after the last page.

Perfect for readers who crave urban fantasy with emotional weight, Mythos University offers a story not just about wielding power, but about surviving it.
