Zodiac Academy: The Awakening
Twin sisters discover they are fae heirs and are enrolled in an academy where four heirs to the throne intend to break them. Genuinely brutal bullying-to-lovers across a very long completed series, with a reverse-harem structure. On the House's scale it rates 4 for spice (explicit), 4 for how much of the book is the romance, and 3 for craft. Fourth Wing readers who want the academy structure and a series they can finish.
