After leaving behind the quiet life of the Dawn Court, Sophie Lockwood opens a tea shop in the heart of Velaris hopefully seeking peace, not love. But peace is the last thing she finds when she catches the attention of Azriel, the shadowsinger with a haunted past and a carefully guarded heart. What starts as a chance encounter soon spirals into something deeper, something destined. As Sophie navigates new friendships, a growing bond with the Inner Circle, and a love that defies fate, she must confront her own buried lineage and the future she never thought possible. Spanning years of laughter, healing, and family, Midnight and Magnolias is a slow-burn, heartwarming journey of found love, found family, and the magic that lives in quiet moments. #1 In Azriel #1 In Acotar #1 In Chanceencounter #1 in Mor #2 In Feyre

** All rights to characters and plotline belong to Sarah J Maas, this is completely a fanfiction and I take no credit for the characters and places that Sarah J Maas has created** Born with wings that should not exist, Evanora (ev-uh-NOR-uh) has spent her life hiding in the shadows of Illyria. Concealed by her mother's desperate invention - a dark paste to mask the white leather of her birth - she learned early that survival meant silence, invisibility, and secrets. But when grief, fear, and fury spark a forbidden light within her, Evanora's secret can no longer remain buried. Hunted by her own people, she finds herself swept into the heart of the Night Court, where power, danger, and beauty are entwined. There she meets the Shadowsinger - unreadable, relentless, a warrior who sees too much. Tasked with training her, he becomes both her harshest trial and her most unexpected tether. Yet as whispers of war rise across Prythian, and the Autumn Court stirs schemes that could burn the realm to ash, Evanora must confront what she is, what she fears, and the truth of the bloodline her mother died to protect. In a court of fire and darkness, of love and betrayal, light may be her greatest weapon. Or her doom. [Also on AO3 under stvrlightt_cerys]
