First of all, I want to thank you so much for clicking on Ink & Ivory. This story is a deeply personal passion project that has been a part of my heart for a long time, and I can't wait to share it with you.
I've poured so much of myself into creating a world that feels magical, comforting, and full of heart—a space where you can escape into something soft and witchy, with a touch of ballet-core magic. This isn't just a story about Aether or dance; it's about self-discovery, empowerment, and the beauty of growing into your own skin. It's about finding magic in the quietest, most intimate corners of life.
You'll meet Cass, my main character, who is trying to navigate the pressures of her family, a prestigious dance academy, and her unique relationship with Aether. I can't wait for you to step into her shoes (or ballet slippers) and feel the world as she does—through love, tension, and magic.
A few things to keep in mind as you start this journey:
This is a work-in-progress. I'm still learning and growing with each chapter, so I hope you'll join me in this process and enjoy the evolution of the story as it unfolds. Your thoughts are gold to me. If you're moved by something, excited, or even just curious, please leave a comment. Wattpad thrives on connection, and I'd love to hear from you. 💖 Here's what you can expect in this world:
Dance, magic, and sisterhood. This story is very much centered around feminine energy, soft magic, and the kind of quiet strength I adore in books. You'll find sigils, Aether-infused rituals, ballet rehearsals, secret crushes, and so much more. Romance and tension. You'll see moments of vulnerability and growing intimacy, alongside complicated relationships and delicious slow-burn crushes. Prepare for plenty of stolen glances and tender touches. Cozy, witchy vibes. If you love crystals, spells, rooftop picnics, and enchanted dorm rooms, I hope this world will feel like home for you. Thank you for being here. Thank you for supporting a dream I've held for so long. I'm manifesting that this book reaches the right people—the ones who will get it, who will feel the love and care I've poured into it. 💕
