Lucent Academy: Trinity Awakens: Reverse Harem Romantasy
At Lucent Academy, you don’t choose your mate. You summon them. Every Manaborn of the Invicto Empire is claimed at adulthood and shipped to the Academy—to master their power and call forth their fated mate from the Pacted Realms. A beastkin mate is common. A vampire, rare. A dragon? That’s the kind of legend nobles brag about for generations.
But highborn or lowborn, everyone knows the unbreakable rule of our You summon exactly one Bonded Mate.
Rules exist to be broken.
As the daughter of lowborn gardeners, I never dreamed I'd awaken Mana. I’d have been grateful for an imp. A kobold.
Anything that let me keep my head down and avoid the notice of the elite.
Then my Summoning happens.
An Abyss Dragon who offers me his hoard and his heart. A Blood Lord promising eternal devotion and immortal nights. A Fae Prince vowing to make me his Queen.
Three Bonded Mates. One terrified girl. And a prophecy come to life.
Suddenly I’m declared a Trinity—the first in recorded history. A living legend destined either to save this world…or make it burn.
Now the Empire watches. The Pacted Realms stir. Priests, kings, and monsters argue over whether I’m a miracle or a catastrophe.
All I know is I’m trapped between three equally irresistible, equally dangerous suitors who don’t understand the meaning of “share”—and who are ready to take extreme measures to get what they claim as theirs.
The problem is, I’ve never been good at choosing.
And if the prophecy is right?
I might not have to.

I can't wait to come back and change my review if I ever hear about anything further with this story.
First, I absolutely loved the writing style. It was phenomenal, which is becoming increasingly impossible in today's market of rapid release novels. This is truly the first novel in a very, very long time that I've read from a first person POV that actually sounded like a story and not a 14-year-olds diary. I loved the characters. Every single one of them. They were each their own, and I had no issues whatsoever with any of the characterizations yanking me out of the story, which is also a common thing in a lot of novels. I loved the world building. It was detailed and well thought out and it was woven into the prose masterfully.
I was completely engaged the entire time I read it. The whole hour. Which is why I'm rating this two stars now, because it wasn't long enough, especially for it to be categorized as a reverse harem novel. There was no romance whatsoever because the bonding didn't happen until the very end of the book. The character didn't even have a full conversation with her mates for a full page before they disappeared. I was extremely disappointed at how unfinished the novel felt when I got to the end. It would be better if there was a link to the author in any way. But there isn't. You can't click on the authors name on Amazon. There is no author website. There aren't any socials that I could find that mention this novel at all. There is no greeting at the beginning of the book, or thanks or acknowledgements of any kind. There's nothing where the author introduces themselves or directions on where to go to find more information. Nothing whatsoever that gives us any idea of whether this is a prequal of sorts, or the beginning of a series. There's nothing. And that's why I've rated it two stars for now.
It's so hard to find such deeply immersive storytelling these days. I search for days and weeks, and sometimes months before I find one that I truly love, and this could have been one of them. And I'm just disappointed that it was cut this short without any indications or clues as to whether it would be continued or not, or that it would be continued so as to follow the RH conventions to actually be you know, a RH. If that changes I'll gladly come back and change my review.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lucent Academy: Trinity Awakens by Alex Bright was a brilliant, quick read that perfectly sets the stage for something really exciting. This fast-paced novella never felt rushed; everything flowed smoothly, and the story connected together nicely despite the shorter length.
The worldbuilding and academy setup pulled me in right away, and I loved how much intrigue was packed into such a short book. It definitely feels like the calm before the storm, in the best way. You can tell this is just the beginning of a much bigger story.
I’m especially excited to learn more about the MMCs and watch the FMC really come into her own - she already has main character energy and I’m obsessed. Overall, a fun, engaging start to the series that left me wanting more immediately. Can’t wait to see what comes next!

great potential
Really liked it. Rated it 4 stars because it has a few details that conflict with each other. Needs a bit of editing but could be great.

3 because it’s so short
Very short book. Like the characters etc. a little childish that 3 grown ancient men would quibble like children but other than that I really enjoyed it.
