They say Blackwood Academy builds the future.

What they don’t say is how many secrets were buried to protect it.

When Elena Hart earns a scholarship to the prestigious Blackwood Academy, she quickly realizes she doesn’t belong among the wealth, power, and dangerous privilege hidden behind its gothic walls. The students are untouchable. The rules are unwritten. And everyone fears one name:

Rowan Blackwood.

Cold. Brilliant. Untouchable.

He watches Elena like she’s a problem waiting to happen—and maybe she is.

Because beneath Blackwood’s elite perfection lies something darker than scandal. A missing girl. A secret society. Hidden tunnels beneath the academy. And a truth powerful enough to destroy everyone connected to it.

The more Elena investigates the disappearance of Evelyn Cross, the deeper she’s pulled into a world of obsession, manipulation, and deadly secrets. And the closer she gets to Rowan, the more impossible it becomes to tell whether he’s trying to protect her…

Or silence her before she uncovers the truth.

At Blackwood Academy, love is dangerous. Power is inherited. And some secrets were never meant to survive the storm.

BLACKWOOD is a dark academia romance thriller filled with forbidden attraction, elite secrets, emotional tension, mystery, betrayal, and devastating twists.
