House of Finch and Crow

Heated Rivalry meets magical dark academia in this MM gothic urban romantasy featuring enemies to lovers, forced proximity, and a magical academy while exploring the dazzling world of magic, shadows, and forbidden romance.

He rivals me in class, and wrecks me in the dark.

I don’t belong here.

I’m an outcast, an outsider, a freak with powers I can’t control.

They found me at twenty, some fifteen years too late. Now I’m wiped from the memory of all who ever loved me, invisible to strangers, and running out of time. My only chance to survive is at Veilcrest Academy, where everyone is years ahead of me.

Especially him.

Cassian Crow is a perfect student, a ruthless bully, and a charmer who sleeps with anyone he chooses.

He’s solid muscle and storm-quiet eyes that undress me every time he looks my way.

I don’t know if I hate him or want him looking until he breaks me.

His pranks ruin me. But I study hard to outsmart him in class. It’s a rivalry that follows us all the way to the Scottish Highlands, where a simple mission strands us alone, in one room, with one bed, and something in the dark that wants us dead.

And when he touches me, I fall apart.

Nothing about this is simple. He’s still the spoiled second son of the most powerful house in the world. His father will never let this happen. And the Wraiths are coming for us both.

But the pull of attraction is only glowing brighter.

And I’m about to fall in love with him anyway, even if it kills me.

The House of Finch and Crow is the first novel in Hayden Hall's steamy MM paranormal romance series, The Keepers of the Light. Perfect for fans of Heated Rivalry and wizarding academies, this book features enemies-to-lovers, academic rivalry, fated love, found family, and a spicy road to a happily ever after. The book is part of a series, but it has a satisfying conclusion, no cliffhangers, and can be read as a standalone.
