Heir of Spells and Academy Secrets

Talisa of Bernswick comes to the Imperial Academy for the Magical Arts on a commoner's scholarship, poor and brilliant, with too much pride to kneel.

Aristocrats hold the power here, and they expect students like her to stay quiet or leave; she intends to prove she belongs anyway.

That resolve makes an enemy of Lord Lukhan FitzMurad, the Academy's beautiful, brilliant golden boy, who vows to humble her and destroy everything she came to achieve.

Magical trials and ruthless noble bullies threaten that future, even as her stubborn kindness gathers lonely classmates and unlikely allies into a found family.

Pride, rivalry, and impossible choices leave Talisa on a dangerous line with the one person most determined to see her fail.
