In this enemies to lovers fantasy romance, supernaturals go to the dark side and villains become the heroes inside a paranormal prison for the world's most powerful magical offenders.

Love is even more dangerous behind bars.

Rebellious supernatural Ava-Marie loves living on the dark side. But one night she takes revenge too far, and is sentenced to a reform school for magical delinquents... though really, it's a prison. As the only elemental who can cast both Fire and Water magic, Ava's history of bipolar disorder gets more complicated at the Dark Institute, where surviving the Warden's cruel cage is almost as risky as falling in love.

After losing his sight, the devastatingly handsome Charlie was banished from magical society and forced to live on the streets. An inmate from the wrong side of the tracks, Charlie wants to escape the Institute, but he can't do it without Ava, the woman who shares his soul, and the one person he can't stand. Charlie and Ava have a complex bond, but if theyre going to break out, these bitter enemies will have to find a way to put their hate for each other aside, and team up.

At the Darke Institute, criminals are tossed to the fire and villains are forged in the flames. Nobody escapes, but there is a way out. The Warden is offering a pardon for the team who wins the Darke Games, a ruthless, twisted survival game where more prisoners come out dead than alive. Ava and Charlie have one chance at escape, but their desire for each other could prove fatal. Wicked temptation is brewing, and Ava's hidden passion for the dominant Charlie might cost them the Games. The Warden thinks they're the bad guys, but Ava and Charlie will show the magical world just how villainous they can be.
