Welcome back to Preston Academy, where secrets of the past come alive and every decision can change your fate.

In the sinister halls of Preston Academy, Avery stumbles upon a shattering truth: her connection to Alexander goes back further than she could have ever imagined. With this revelation comes a burden, an ancient secret that Alexander must keep at all costs. Since her transformation, Avery has been battling a dark force that threatens to destroy her. Together with her friends, she embarks on a dangerous search for a half-witch in New Orleans who can heal her. But in this city, nothing is as it seems, and trust can be deadly.

Just as they are within reach of their goal, an unexpected visitor shows up whose arrival puts everything in danger. Will Avery and her friends find a way out in time, or will everything they've fought for be destroyed in the nick of time?

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.

Bianca’s work is a magnetic blend of dark romance and fantasy, often set in enigmatic institutions like Preston Academy, where secrets fester and passion burns just beneath the surface. Her characters—flawed, haunted, and painfully real—wrestle with grief, guilt, and desire in ways that linger long after the final page. In Secrets and Seduction, she launched readers into the seductive chaos of Preston Academy, a world that rapidly gained traction on BookTok and introduced her voice to a broader, passionate audience.

What sets her apart isn’t just the intensity of her storytelling—it’s her willingness to write into the silences, to explore the kinds of relationships and inner conflicts that many shy away from. In books like Wicked Mind, she digs into grief and obsession, using romance not as an escape but as a crucible for transformation.

Though still an emerging voice in the literary scene, Bianca Mov is carving out a space where emotion is raw, tension is electric, and no feeling is too dark to explore. Her stories are for readers who crave the shadowy spaces between love and ruin—where the heart wants what it shouldn’t, and consequences are inevitable.

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.

Tinged with gothic suspense and steeped in emotional intensity, this dark academia romance blends the haunting tension of supernatural mystery with raw, character-driven storytelling. It’s a slow descent into obsession, redemption, and ruin—and readers won’t want to look away.

The halls of Preston don’t just echo with footsteps. They remember.
