In a world where emotion is power, the Academy of Velanor guard and educate what remains of the shattered Cores: 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐫. 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞. 𝐑𝐚𝐠𝐞. 𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟. 𝐇𝐨𝐩𝐞. Each bound to a human life. When Serra's Core ignites without warning, she is thrust into the unknown world and rules of Velanor, a place, she soon realizes, that feels both like a cage and sanctuary, compared to the dying world she came from. Serra meets Aren. A Corebearer marked by a forbidden past. His magic is unstable. His temper, 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦. And when their powers collide, the old myth stirs again. The same myth that once broke the world.

[Book 1] She escaped a house of cruelty and silence only to seek refuge in the tower of a man the world calls a monster. The Ridley girl cannot speak. Her past is a secret written in scars. When she escapes her father's estate, she expects death... not the cold mercy of Archmage Evior Asmodeus Malficar. The Archmage is powerful, reclusive, and feared throughout the land. His name alone keeps kingdoms trembling. But within the wards of his ancient tower, nothing is as it seems... least of all him. As strange magic stirs in the air and light itself begins to answer her presence, she must decide whether her silence will protect her... or destroy them both. #1 in magic out of 297K stories on Nov 11, 2025!!! #1 in mage #1 in archmage #1 in magicalworld #1 in chosenone
