Overview

A Sapphic Dark Fantasy Enemies to Lovers Romance.

Condemned since birth for her bloodline, Iskra has learned to suppress her Urgeist—the ancient magic of the fae, the same power that once terrorized humankind before the fae’s brutal defeat in a great war centuries ago. Now, living under the human rule of the Veitgard Empire, Iskra's half-fae heritage is a curse and a death sentence…unless she can master it. When Helmfels Academy offers her a chance to train as a witch serving the Empire, Iskra sees a way out of the shadows—if only she can survive the trials that await her.

At Helmfels, Headmistress Eveline Stahlwynn insists she wield her Urgeist, daring her to embrace the power she’s long denied. But as she struggles to claim her place, she faces a rival she never expected: Adalind von Falkenrath, proud descendant of a powerful house of fae-slayers. Adalind is beautiful, arrogant, and everything Iskra has been taught to fear, yet each encounter draws them closer, despite the walls of enmity between them.

Haunted by their bloodlines, both Iskra and Adalind must choose whether to allow the legacies of their pasts to define them or carve a new path forward. But as tension mounts, Iskra knows one truth: her magic will either liberate her—or prove to everyone that she is the monster they suspect her to be.
