[Complete] [88k] [Dark Academia, Vampire, 1970s] The Countess Morwenna
In early 1976, Kyle Parker, the son of wealthy, neglectful parents, is kicked out of high school and finds himself staring down the barrel of military school.
However, his parents give him one last chance. They secure a spot for him at Atticus Clay Academy, a well-regarded boarding school located on an island just off the coast of New England. With strict dress codes, even stricter discipline, and tough studies, Kyle realizes he's got work cut out for him.
But there's more to ACA than meets the eye. The ancient school has dark secrets lurking in the shadows. A student has recently gone missing, and as Kyle begins to pick up the trail, he finds himself reawakening an ancient, vampiric entity known as the Countess Morwenna.
Kyle has never seen anyone quite like her. Dark, alluring, mysterious, Morwenna claims to have been sent from Hell by the Devil himself to find an escaped soul and return it to its punishment. The soul of Atticus Clay himself, she claims, has possessed a member of the faculty, and she needs Kyle's help to find him.
But as Kyle begins to investigate, he soon finds himself lost in a web of mystery and half-truth. He must contend with the dark forces at work at ACA, reconcile with his own struggles, and solve the mystery of what exactly happened between Atticus Clay and the Countess Morwenna.
Please note that this book contains religious themes, cursing, and a few mildly sexual scenarios. Also it's set in the 1970s, so there are a few slight references to racism.
Please let me know if there's any interest! The first chapter is linked below.
I am perfectly willing to critique swap anything with similar wordcount.
