Lila Cynder Evie (Evee- eh) survived a life built on lies, abuse, and the suffocating feeling of being a forgotten slave. With pieces of her memory fractured and erased, her only solace was her little twin sisters and the pages of her favorite comic book, where a brave teenage witch lived a life of vibrant, real magic. Lila desperately yearned for that same purpose-a life that truly belonged to them all, free from the shadows of her past. That yearning ignites into reality when inexplicable phenomena reveal her secret: she is a witch, special and powerful, and her magic is the key to their escape. A mysterious acceptance letter soon arrives, summoning her to Oasel Academy ("Oh-tsil"). Oasel is the haven Lila dreamed of-a dazzling and chaotic kaleidoscope of soaring spells and possibilities. It's a chance to forge a powerful, loving future for her sisters and finally belong. There, Lila finds the family she never had, forging fierce bonds with new friends like Tyler Westbrook and Bridget Clawfield, reconnecting with childhood acquaintances, and forming a vital new circle of trust. But the magical world is not a simple refuge. As Lila trains fiercely to become a brilliant witch and immerses herself in the school's vast history and lore, she begins to uncover deep, forgotten secrets about Oasel, the magical realm, and the true, dangerous identity she was forced to forget. Driven by sisterly love and fueled by the resilience forged in her trauma, Lila must embrace her destiny and face the lingering dangers, proving that her unique, butterfly-like transformation will shatter the darkness. { I dedicate this story to both my older sister Evelyn, my mom and my family.

I was turned on by the blush of his cheeks, because I knew he rarely talked about these things. My heart rate quickened and I felt myself grow instantly wet at the memory. I remembered him sitting on the couch, pants pooled at his feet as his hand gripped his erect cock in his hand, watching the images on the television screen that was right next to the peephole I was watching him out of. It was the most erotic thing I'd ever seen, and now he was asking how long I'd been watching him? I couldn't lie to him, though. "The last ten minutes," I whispered, looking to Locke for his reaction. Locke closed his eyes and raised his head to look at the sky, just so he wouldn't have to look at me as he said his next words. His face was flushed, and his words came out a low growl when he asked, "Did you like it?" *** After her entire world shattered her senior year in high school, Rowan Faye has avoided love.
