Bella Dante

Bella Dante, a Dark academia Romantasy.
The kind of school where students disappear into the surrounding forest, bloodlines matter more than talent, and the dungeons beneath campus remember everyone who dies there.

The only truly serious Philosophical question:
To partake or not to partake. Do you follow Virgil down the rabbit hole or do you sit complacently staring at the shadows on your wall again?

Hugh Lovecraft picks both.
But this isn’t the kind of magic school you get into accidentally, and with Hugh’s family name, old bloodline and talent there’s no wonder he was accepted. He’s almost what you envision when you think of Bella Dante. The cynical sarcasm and cocky charm masking the bully underneath.
The only thing he’s missing? Being born into the Cosmic Curse family didn’t come with old money like his classmates.
So why did he pick the most prestigious school he could with talent and tenacity like his?
Maybe there is something missing in him.
Maybe he comes to Bella Dante looking for someone.
What will he become, and who will he become when faced with her again?
Then he finds Tears Everheart again.
Top of the class. No powerful bloodline. No influential family. Just intelligence, ambition, and enough stubbornness to survive a school designed to crush people like her. She should hate Hugh. Honestly, she probably does.
That doesn’t stop either of them.
Between deadly classes, secret societies, marriage rituals, cursed forests, alchemical monsters, and cliques that treat cruelty like a competitive sport, Bella Dante starts pulling them closer and closer together until…
This romance is neither soft nor fragile.
The magic is not safe.
The Heat is intense and sparse.
And nobody at Bella Dante stays innocent for long.
Dark academia. Romantasy. Gothic fantasy with teeth.

Perfect for you if the idea of a mix of Harry potter meeting the dead poets society with edgy, 80’s style cliques interests you.
