We Who Have No Gods

We Who Have No Gods by Vic Wood is a dark academia fantasy set inside a secretive university for witches, where scholarship, ritual and ambition make for a dangerously addictive mix. When Vic’s younger brother is welcomed into the Acheron Order, she expects to be left behind—she doesn’t have their absent mother’s magic. So the Order’s leader’s invitation to Avalon Castle comes as a shock, along with his radical idea: maybe magic can be taught.

At Avalon, Vic is treated as an intruder, forced to earn her place through grit, research and a sharp eye for the rules no one admits exist. As she digs through forbidden archives and long-buried history, she finds signs of a brewing war—and a link to her own family that won’t let her go. Meanwhile, Xan, the ruthless head Sentinel, is determined to drive her out, even as their chemistry crowds every corridor.

Perfect for readers who love gothic settings, secret societies, slow-burn tension and morally grey magic. Step into Avalon Castle and see what power really costs.
