About B.B. Skelton
B.B. Skelton is a fantasy author drawn to dangerous magic systems, morally complicated rulers, and women who sharpen their grief into weapons.
Her debut series, Aethermere Academy, blends romantic tension, academic rivalry, and political intrigue within a layered magical world built on the concept of the Vein Eternal—a living current of power stabilized by ancient Anchors. When one of those Anchors is stolen, the land begins to decay, and the scholar summoned to fix it may be the very heir the crown once tried to erase.
Before turning her focus fully to fiction, Skelton worked in creative strategy and design, an experience that informs the visual richness and structural precision of her storytelling. She writes women who bleed and endure, men who love badly and deeply, and magic that never comes without consequence.
She believes every story deserves teeth and every girl deserves a good knife.
Themes in the Aethermere Saga:
Inheritance of Ruin
Legacy is not a gift. It is a wound.
The Aethermere Saga explores what it means to inherit a world already broken. Bloodlines carry power, but they also carry guilt, silence, and buried violence. As ancient Anchors fail and the Vein Eternal destabilizes, Myr must confront the truth that legacy is not destiny. It is a reckoning.
Power With a Pulse
Magic is alive. And it keeps score.
In Aethermere, magic is not a tool. It is a living current, flowing through the Vein Eternal and stabilized by ancient Anchors. Every Affinity exacts a cost. Every overreach leaves a scar. As corruption spreads through the land, the saga asks: when power has a heartbeat, who decides how it is used?
Memory as Weapon
What is erased does not disappear. It waits.
Secrets shape nations. Stolen histories shape heirs. The saga examines the violence of suppression, from redacted archives to severed identities. As Myr uncovers truths about her past and the Groveheart’s theft, memory becomes both blade and shield. To remember is dangerous. To remain ignorant is fatal.
Desire in the Shadow of the Crown
Love is the most unstable Affinity.
Against a backdrop of political manipulation and academic rivalry, forbidden bonds take root. Loyalty fractures. Obsession masquerades as devotion. As Myr stands between a king who wants to wield her and a commander who swore to protect her, the saga interrogates the line between protection and possession, between hunger and love.
