A powerless outcast thrust into a brutal Fae academy. Her ruthless instructor caught between duty and desire. A forbidden love foretold to spark the kingdom's absolute ruin.
On the day of my twentieth birthday, a brutally handsome Shadow Fae darkens my doorway and whisks me away to an elite Fae academy. The problem is I'm not Fae, and I certainly don't have any magical powers. Despite this, I'm thrust into a realm where magic is as vital as breath and far more dangerous. Thrown into an academy teeming with powerful Fae, I must navigate the treacherous waters of magical education, summon my dormant powers, and battle merciless fellow students to prepare to face the rival Arcanum Citadel across the river. Home to the treacherous Shadow Fae, the end-of-the-year battle determines our fate. More dangerous still is the mysterious connection with my ruthless, enigmatic Shadow Fae professor. As he begrudgingly mentors me in the ways of Light magic, our growing relationship becomes a forbidden attraction that neither of us can deny. As my powers unfurl and the boundary between light and dark blurs, a deeper threat emerges: a secret prophecy that could ignite war. The shaky peace between the courts trembles, and I'm faced with a choice that could alter the fate of our realm. I stand at the precipice, the key to averting a bloodbath—or igniting an all-consuming fire. An epic romantasy must-listen for fans of Fourth Wing and ACOTAR... Get ready to meet your next Shadow Daddy!
