Throne of the Everflame by GBDawnthorn

They called her cursed. They didn't know she was worse. Sold by her own mother at seven years old, Sayuri grew up in chains - first in a brothel, then in the grip of men who treated her life as currency. When fire and steel took that world from her, she thought she might finally be free. Instead, she found herself in a place where power has rules, and weakness has a price: Dawn Academy, home of the world's most dangerous warriors. Sayuri wants nothing to do with heroes or chosen ones. She wants to survive. But survival means mastering the Veil - a magic so feared that most people won't even speak its name. It means enduring brutal Trials that leave students broken... or dead. It means facing Elessa, the rival who refuses to be outdone. And it means navigating the fragile trust of Lyra and Korrin, the only people who might actually care whether she lives. When a mission goes wrong and a mountain falls, Sayuri's secret threatens to burn through every wall she's built around herself. Whispers spread. The Council watches. And enemies - both human and not - are beginning to see her as something more than a girl. In a world where control is power and mercy is weakness, Sayuri must decide whether she'll keep running from the darkness inside her... or unleash it. Friendship, rivalry, and raw survival collide in this brutal academy fantasy where every choice costs blood, and every victory demands a piece of your soul.
