An Arcane Inheritance by Ellory Morgan is a modern-day dark academia speculative fantasy with a sharp romantic edge, set inside a prestigious university where knowledge comes with teeth. Warren University looks like old money and ivy, but its traditions are steeped in occult rumours—and in the lives it has quietly consumed to keep certain students powerful.
Ellory arrives determined to earn her place, yet the campus feels unnervingly familiar: the corridors, the rituals, the shadows between lectures. The deeper she settles into first year, the stronger the conviction becomes that she’s lived this story before. Memories flicker and vanish, as if someone is editing her life in real time.
To hold onto the truth, Ellory turns to Hudson Graves, a brooding legacy student who knows more than he admits—and whose help may come at a cost neither of them expects.
Perfect for readers who love contemporary fantasy, secret societies, morally thorny magic, and romantasy tension with dark, BIPOC-centred themes.
Step onto Warren’s grounds and see what the university has been hiding.
