Characters/Shifters in Shifter Academy

Did you know that I’ve written/co-written THREE trilogies in the Shifter Academy universe?


Siren Prophecy (Shifted, Scorched, Summoned)

The first one was the Siren Prophecy with four other authors (Angel Leya, Jesse Booth, Tricia Barr, and Alessandra Jay).

We each wrote a point of view character (Jesse wrote two), so each of the characters had their own tone/voice since each of them were written by a different author.

  • Myreen Fairchild is the main character (written by Tricia Barr and some scenes by Angel Leya). She’s a mermaid shifter but doesn’t know it. At the beginning of the story, she learns about her nature and is taken to the Shifter Academy school to learn with other shifters, ala Harry Potter.

  • Kol Dracul, the love interest (and written by yours truly) is a dragon shifter with scales that can change color in order to camouflage himself into his surroundings. He’s from a long line of royal dragons.

  • Oberon is the headmaster of the school (written by Jesse Booth). He’s a gryphon with a tragic backstory. He lost his wife and his child years in the past. He’s the one who finds Myreen and brings her to the school.

  • Leif Villers is a vampire (also written by Jesse Booth). He’s an unlikely friend of Oberon and becomes entwined with the events at Shifter Academy.

  • Kenzie Maclugh is a selkie (written by Angel Leya) who can perform magic–sort of like a witch. She’s Myreen’s best friend and eventually ends up at the school with her.

  • Juliet Quinn is a phoenix (written by Alessandra Jay). Her dad is one of the teachers and she struggles with her powers, but also becomes a good friend of Myreen.


Frost Boarding House (Frigid, Frost, Frozen)

I wrote Frost Boarding House in tandem while writing the Siren Prophecy with the others, but the trilogy was published the summer after, in 2019.Frost Boarding House takes place one hundred years before the Siren Prophecy with a new cast of characters, but many have a connection to characters in the main series (you’ll notice many of them have the same last names. It’s about how a school for shifters first begins.

  • Camilla Frost lives at the boarding house with her family. She’s a ‘human’ who hates shifters.

  • Aline Dracul is a dragon princess who comes to stay at the boarding house.

  • Evandrus Quinn is a phoenix and Aline’s bodyguard who travels with her to the boarding house.

  • Leif Villers works at the boarding house in the orchard. He’s like a brother to Camilla and is also a ‘human’

  • Gemma MacLugh is a selkie and Leif’s sweetheart. She’s been staying at the boarding house for a few months and is a dear friend to Camilla.


Reclaim (Reflect, Relinquish, Reclaim)

The Reclaim trilogy was a passion project for Jesse Booth and I. Leif didn’t get his happy ending in the Siren Prophecy, so it was a love letter to Leif and Gemma. We wrote dual point of view (Jesse wrote Leif and I wrote Gemma). 

The story begins before Frost Boarding House and ends after the Siren Prophecy. A lot of the same characters in the Siren Prophecy are in the Reclaim series.
