The Sparkless Flame by lunastarliren

Aeliasia Illunai (Aeli, to her very short list of friends) is a magicless girl just trying to survive in a world where magic is as common as bread. Between nosy aristocrats, relentless rebels, and ominous prophecies, Aeli's biggest ambition is to be left alone to plant carrots. But destiny--and a very pushy prophet--has other plans. When she's told she's connected to an ancient, world-altering power, Aeli's first response is to laugh. Loudly. After all, her only claim to fame so far has been acting as the punching bag at her fancy academy. Armed with sarcasm, a growing band of misfits, and exactly zero magical ability, Aeli is dragged into a rebellion against the all-powerful Solvarian Empire. Her mission? Find and destroy the shards of a mythical artifact before the empire unleashes its so-called solution to "save the land"--whatever that means. No pressure. With danger lurking around every corner, sparks flying between teammates, and a capital city that literally glows with corruption, Aeli is beginning to think destiny might be more of a curse than a calling.
