Twisted Vows: An Immortal Consequences Story

At Blackwood Academy, death is not the end, and the connections formed between its students can be as dangerous as the secrets they carry. In Twisted Vows: An Immortal Consequences Story, I. V. Marie returns to the mysterious supernatural world of Blackwood Academy for a story set eighteen years before the events of Immortal Consequences. This prequel explores the origins of the intense rivalry and developing romance between two memorable characters, Wren Loughty and Augustine Hughes. When Wren arrives at the gates of Blackwood Academy, she discovers that she is dead but has not fully crossed over to the afterlife. Instead, she must learn the magical skills needed to guide lost souls to the Other Side. Her new existence comes with an unexpected challenge: working on a class assignment with Augustine, a notorious student known as the Demon of Blackwood. August is not interested in making friends, and his reasons for approaching Wren are more complicated than they first appear. As the two navigate the academy's competitive environment, supernatural mysteries, and dangerous social dynamics, their growing connection challenges their initial assumptions about each other. Attraction and rivalry become increasingly difficult to separate, while hidden motives threaten to turn their relationship into something far more painful. With its gothic setting, paranormal elements, dark academia atmosphere, and emotionally charged romance, the novella expands the world established in I. V. Marie's The Souls of Blackwood Academy series. Readers can expect magical intrigue, complicated relationships, simmering tension, and the consequences of choices that cannot easily be undone. This book is best suited to young adult fantasy readers who enjoy paranormal romance, morally complicated characters, supernatural schools, and stories where love and betrayal intersect. Because the novella contains spoilers for Immortal Consequences and Ruinous Ends, reading the first two books before this prequel is recommended.
