A humble potion-maker with barely a token to her name. A bright, responsible daughter as well as a caring sister. A girl with big aspirations and a fiery yearning to study the mystic arts. And now she's a...sorcerer in training? After a life-altering accident, fourteen-year-old Elaine Harwood finds herself standing at the gateway to a new world. She is someone who possesses an above-average aptitude for practicing magic: a mage. However, when her older brother is left unable to walk due to a brutal injury, she is granted the chance to take his place at Glyph Academy, the country's most prestigious magic-teaching institution. Now, all she needs to do is survive a school filled with lunatic teachers, unorthodox classes, and a homeroom crammed with talented yet half-baked nobles. A tall order, to be sure. Then again, nobody ever promised becoming a sorcerer would be easy...

After being forced to witness the brutal murder of his mother, Falyn was left traumatized and voiceless. At the mercy of his father, the Duke of Ramport and the man who ordered his mother's death, Falyn was locked away and abused for years. Nine years later, at the end of a long and brutal war, the human nation of Vrayna enters into peace talks with the Beastlands, with a marriage treaty as part of the terms. Rather than lose his precious daughter to the Beastlands, the Duke sends Falyn in her place, assuming that he will be rejected and killed. But Falyn isn't rejected. Instead, Falyn finds a new beginning, a chance to heal the wounds of his past, and a love he never expected. ***Finalist for New Community Novel of the Year on Tapas***
