Emerie James

Dark Fantasy Romance Series

Oakridge University seems like any other Ivy League school, but when a local satanic cult gets their hands on a group of outcasts, everything goes south— straight down to hell.

An unknown world of monsters and evil shadows sinks its claws into unsuspecting victims, and when a ritualistic sacrifice during a super moon goes wrong, it unleashes something demonic, and there’s no going back to the normal life they had before.

Four men enter the darkness, and come back out the other side— different— changed— a thirst for blood, mayhem, and sick desires that they will stop at nothing to obtain.

Daxon Halford managed to get into an Ivy League university on a scholarship, and his only goal was to make something of himself. After spending most of his life in foster care and destitute he felt like this was his chance to break free of the heavy chains that weighed him down for so long.

What he wants more than anything, though, is her. And when he finally works up the courage to make his move. A satanic cult hidden in the shadows of Oakridge makes their move first and everything goes horribly wrong. He’s different, darker and will stop at nothing to take what’s his.

Eden Winters is a member of a sorority, a cheerleader— popular— and has a secret that no one knows, and can never know. She wants him more than anything, but she has two controlling men in her life preventing her from going after what she wants. Or who she wants. She comes to terms with knowing he’ll never be hers, at least until the day he shows up in front of the university looking different. Glowing, dangerous, and dark. Something’s not right with him, but she can’t resist him. Not that it would do much good to try, because he’ll take what he wants. And what he wants— is her.

Emerie James is a dark romance and fantasy author who writes at the edges of desire and despair. Her stories explore the places where beauty meets brutality, and love becomes both a wound and a weapon. Blending seductive imagination with emotional realism, she crafts worlds haunted by trauma, temptation, and the aching need to be understood.

Versatile in her storytelling, Emerie moves seamlessly between shadowed fantasy realms and raw, real-world-romances— always chasing the truth that even in darkness, love can still burn bright. A lifelong writer and devoted reader, she draws inspiration from human complexity, gothic atmospheres, and her own lived experiences.

When she isn’t writing, she’s dreaming up new worlds where ruin and tenderness coexist— and where every scar tells a story.

Emerie’s writing will push limits, explore how trauma can affect and impact characters in every way imaginable.
