Ever King

Hey book lovers! I'm Ever King, and I write dark academia romance with a heavy dose of magic, mythology, and morally questionable choices. (Think what would happen if Sailor Moon went to a seriously twisted Hogwarts and got tangled up with the wrong crowd... or maybe the right one, depending on how you look at it.)

Let me tell you, I never expected to end up writing steamy romantasy about secret magical societies and fated mates. I was that weird kid who spent lunch breaks devouring Greek mythology books and drawing elaborate magical girl transformation sequences in my notebooks. My teachers probably should have seen this coming, honestly. Between my obsession with magical academies, my collection of moon phase jewelry, and my tendency to write increasingly dark fanfiction, the signs were all there.

I wrote 'Lessons in Loyalty' because I couldn't find exactly what I wanted to read – a story that combined the addictive world-building of dark academia with the emotional punch of fated mates, all wrapped up in the glittering danger of Greek mythology. (Plus, who doesn't love a morally grey love interest who's probably plotting something wicked while looking absolutely devastating in a school uniform?)

When I'm not writing about forbidden magic and dangerous romance at the Academy of Villa, you can usually find me hunting through antique shops for creepy old books, practicing tarot readings for my very patient cat, or adding to my already ridiculous collection of crystals. (My partner has instituted a "one crystal in, one crystal out" policy. I'm working on finding loopholes.)

My writing style? Think dark chocolate with a hint of poison – rich, indulgent, and just dangerous enough to keep you coming back for more. I love exploring the grey areas between good and evil, the price of power, and what happens when destiny and desire collide. Fair warning: my characters tend to make terrible decisions for all the right reasons, and sometimes the right reasons for all the wrong ones.

'Lessons in Loyalty' is just the beginning of what I have planned for the Academy of Villa series. There are so many dark corners left to explore, secrets to uncover, and forbidden romances to ignite. (And yes, that mysterious character you're wondering about? They're definitely coming back with their own story. I'm evil like that.)

To my readers: thank you for joining me in this magical, slightly twisted world. Your theories, fan art, and occasional death threats when I leave you on cliffhangers make this whole journey worth it. I read every message, even if I sometimes have to hide under a blanket first because you've gotten too close to guessing my plot twists.

What can you expect from my books? Slow-burn romance that'll make you scream into your pillow at 3 AM. Magic systems based on actual mythology but with my own dark twists. Characters who will ruin your life and make you thank them for it. And always, always a story that will keep you guessing until the very end.

If you love stories where the lines between hero and villain blur, where magic comes with a price, and where romance burns slow but deadly hot, welcome to my world. Just remember – in the Academy of Villa, nothing is quite what it seems, and everyone has secrets worth killing for.

(Oh, and if you're wondering about the name "Ever King" – let's just say it involves a late-night writing session, three cans of energy drinks, and a very dramatic declaration about ruling the literary world. The name stuck, and now I'm kind of stuck with it. At least it looks good on book covers?)

Come join me in the shadows. I promise it'll be worth the risk.

Love & Dark Magic, Ever King

P.S. Yes, I do actually own a collection of moon-phase jewelry. No, I won't tell you how many pieces. Some secrets have to stay secret... for now.
