When Aria Rivers awakens in the world of her favorite dating sim game, she's no longer just a player-she's the heroine. With violet eyes, silver hair, and magic she barely understands, Aria finds herself enrolled at the elite Liora Academy, where spellcraft and romance intertwine in dazzling, dangerous ways.
In this enchanting collection of six interconnected short stories, Aria encounters a cast of unforgettable love interests-each with a distinct route, a different kind of magic, and a heart-stirring path to intimacy, healing, and choice. From the storm-eyed swordsman with a haunted past to the reclusive engineer tethered to her emotions, every story explores a new angle of love, growth, and self-discovery.
Stories Include:
Wings of Light - Aria's first spark ignites with Kael, a calm yet assertive upperclassman who helps her embrace her unstable magic.
Ash and Mercy - In a war zone of magic and survival, Aria learns the cost of compassion alongside the fierce and broken Commander Rael.
The Echo Scholar - A prophecy, a lonely archive, and the quiet scholar Lysander bring Aria closer to the truths buried in silence.
Flame of the Past - Love across lifetimes resurfaces with Silas, a fallen noble whose soul is tied to hers through fate and forgotten vows.
Tethered Sparks - A magical accident emotionally links Aria to Donatello, a brilliant inventor whose awkward heart glows beneath the chaos.
Webs of Dreams - Through a mirror into a dreamworld, Aria meets Elias, a wistful dreamwalker with stars in his soul and longing in his eyes.
For fans of magical academies, slow-burn romance, and dating-sim storytelling with high stakes and deep emotion, Hearts of the Academy is a journey through magic, identity, and the many forms love can take.
