At 16, Alyssa Elentiya had the world at her feet, well basically. She was set to marry her best friend, Crown Prince of Everli, Adrian Waterstone as soon as she turned 18. Everyone knew they were best friends, and Alyssa was a lady. Everyone in the palace referred to her as Lady Alyssa. Yet, that wasn't why she was there, and accepted the offer to marry him. No she had a secret, one that would destroy her life if anyone ever found out.
In Everli, having magic could kill you. Any form of it, elemental, dark, spirited, healing. Any person, from those living in poverty, to even those with royal blood would be killed for using it. And that for Alyssa Elentiya is a huge problem.
She's not from this kingdom, she's from a neighbouring one, Silverton, where magic flows through royal blood, and is still taught there today. Alyssa Elentiya isn't who she says she is, and that will either make her the hero or destroy her life.
