Eleven years ago, we lost everything—even our memories and magic.
We spent the years after fighting to survive a monster who wanted nothing more than to tear the three of us apart. When we finally escaped him in the Mortal Realm, we thought we would be safe.
We were wrong.
Because the Other Realm we were never meant to return to still thrives.
The place we once called home beckons us—only nobody wants us back.
Old friends aren’t what they once were.
Enemies wear our stolen crowns and false smiles.
And the cruelest trap of all?
The people who ignite something in us are made of the worst sorts of poisons.
But they don’t realize there is nothing for us to run back to, that there is nothing that will tear us down.
The dangers we survived in the Mortal Realm were worse than anything our old home and Superno Academy can throw at us.
We won’t leave.
We won’t break.
And we will never bow.
We are the Darklight Princesses—daughters of the most violent queen the Other Realm had seen in centuries.
And there is nothing we won’t do to survive.
Conviction of the Damned is the first book in a dark fantasy academy romance series following triplet sisters Kaida, Dari, and Laina Romano—three ordinary women who discover they are anything but. Hidden away in another realm, they eventually discover they are the long-lost magical princesses… and the daughters of a ruthless former queen who everyone despised.
Thrown back into a country they don’t remember, the sisters must navigate hostile new rulers, a magical academy crawling with enemies, and a past that refuses to stay buried. Power struggles, political tension, and classic fantasy-academy chaos ensue.
Each sister’s journey comes with its own flavor of romance:
Kaida falls into a deliciously chaotic reverse harem that is slower burning
Dari explores a MF romance with friends to lovers / a mild taboo element
Laina finds love through multiple separate FF romances with one including the star-crossed lovers trope as her HEA
Expect beloved tropes galore—enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, slow burn, fast burn, grumpy/sunshine, and plenty of emotional damage (the fun kind).
This is a re-release of the series originally started in 2021, now polished and adjusted. The original three books I published have been split, and new content has been added, so a re-read is advised in order to finish this story if you read it prior.
This series is full of interconnected standalones, duologies, trilogies, and more — a world of powerful families, deadly rivalries, and unforgettable love stories. Each character in each main family (and the fun side characters) gets their own story with a complete ending but I think it’s more fun to read them all and see all the great cameos and shenanigans that occur.
