Witchbreed: A chilling supernatural academy tale of ancient magic, forbidden rituals, and a student who uncovers the horrifying source of the power everyone at Witchbreed depends on.
Some institutions are built on tradition. Moonveil Academy was built on murder.
Seventeen-year-old Maren Ashwood knows her family's dark history: three hundred and forty-seven souls massacred on the exact spot where Moonveil Academy now stands. But when she arrives at the prestigious school of night magic, she discovers something far more sinister: the killing never stopped.
Every year, four students are "Chosen" for a great honor. They volunteer with serene smiles, descend into the academy's forbidden depths, and are never seen again. Their families celebrate. The institution thrives. And everyone pretends it's beautiful.
Everyone except Maren.
As she delves deeper into Moonveil's foundations, she uncovers the truth: the academy's legendary power comes from a conscious well of infinite magic, one created from her ancestors' massacre and sustained by ongoing sacrifice. The night magic students wield so carelessly demands a price in blood. And the Choosing is simply murder dressed up as transcendence.
With the autumn equinox approaching and four more students marked for death, Maren must make an impossible choice: destroy the most powerful magical institution in the world and lose everything she came to learn, or stay silent and become complicit in centuries of atrocity.
But the well beneath Moonveil has been waiting three hundred years for an Ashwood to return. And it has plans of its own.
Perfect for fans of dark academia and supernatural thrillers, Witchbreed asks a chilling question: How many deaths does it take to sustain paradise, and who gets to decide the cost?
"A haunting exploration of power, sacrifice, and the courage to challenge systems that should not stand. Witchbreed grips you from the first page and doesn't let go."
"Dark, atmospheric, and uncompromising. This is a fantasy that dares to ask uncomfortable questions about the institutions we trust."
PRASANTH N.M. writes dark fiction that explores the intersection of power and morality. Witchbreed is his meditation on institutional evil, inherited trauma, and the transformative power of ethical choice.
