A new dark academia why choose romance series inspired by the legend of King Arthur and his knights...

Caliburn University isn't like other colleges. Latin is required. Dorms look like castles. And the fencing team never loses a match. It's the kind of place you have to be brilliant to get in, but insane to actually attend.

Trust me-I would know.

I'm coming to Caliburn to escape-escape my parents, escape the aftermath of my so-called breakdown, but mostly to escape the girl I was. Unstable. Delusional. Dangerous.

All I have to do is study hard, achieve everything, and don't get in any trouble, and I'll prove I'm not damaged goods. Prove I can pursue my passion without losing my mind.

But when my darkest secrets are exposed, the reigning queen of campus decides to make my life a living nightmare. With every day a fresh kind of torture, I'm so close to breaking-and this time, there won't be any coming back.

Then they close ranks around me.

Kingston, the cold, golden boy with the weight of the world on his shoulders. Kai, his hotheaded foster brother who fights dirty. Lanz, all soft smiles and gentle stares. And Callahan-the youngest, the pure-hearted gentle giant.

Four boys with blades, the elite swordsmen of the Caliburn fencing squad. They train like monks, live like princes, and look at me like I'm a threat...or a miracle.

Or both.

Everyone else avoids me like I'm cursed. But the four of them circle closer. Sworn to protect something sacred... something I don't understand.

Because everything I tried to escape?

It followed me here.

And the truth is?

I was never just another student.

I'm the one who's going to put their training to the test.

The Black Table is the first in a new paranormal/fantasy why choose series inspired by the legend of King Arthur with a dark academia, secret society twist. The story contains themes or scenes of bullying, mental illness, and self-harm; offers multiple love interests for the heroine that she won't have to choose between; and features sword-crossing in both senses of the term (IYKYK).
