Awen never cared about her studies until Cargim Fowler found her out. He has a picture-perfect memory and notable name. She has bigger things on her mind than an entitled elite, namely protecting her family and taking care of her sick mother. That's until Cargim Fowler learns of her secret: she's the only one who knows how to solve Szoremal's Conjecture. And now, Cargim wants to know too.
The problem: she can't tell him or anyone. Ever. Because the solution is a weapon that could send the world back into war.
Cargim threatens to make Awen his Chordus - his second, his magic avatar, his servant - if (and when) he graduates as Magus. With her freedom at stake and no way to tell him the solution to Szoremal's Conjecture, Awen descends into an academic battle that has her questioning Fowler's intentions and loyalties, all while trying to protect her family with a weapon that could destroy the world - and now, one that's destroying her too.
For lovers of dark academia, magic, academic rivals and enemies to lovers!

The Love Elixir
A witch cursed with obedience stumbles on a tempting opportunity: create an (illegal-ish) love potion for the university it-girl, for a hefty sum. The payment would help her enlist the infamous underground guild to help her break her curse. All in all, a good deal. The problem? The love elixir's target is the university golden boy that said witch has a major crush on. Nothing unfolds as planned, and chaos ensues. ♡ Amira has the short end of the stick. Cursed with obedience and lacking in magical ability, she's an overall outcast at Aeseros University for the Magical Arts and Sciences. The only thing keeping her (and her GPA) afloat is her genius-level potions ability. So she makes the best of the situation by running a secret potion-making business. If she saves enough, she can finally hire the underground guild to help break her curse. But when the popular Calypso De Costa offers to pay an irresistible amount for a love potion, Mira is conflicted. Partly because it's kinda illegal, and mostly because Calypso wants to target Arden Lancaster, the gorgeous, charismatic, studious student council president. And Mira's crush. It would be a hard choice to make - if Mira had any. Things turn from bad to worse when Arden's best friends are also thrown into the mix: sweet sunshine Leonidas, self-absorbed playboy Elijah, and the chronically sleepy Kai. And Mira underestimates Calypso's hunger for revenge. Let's just say: Maybe being cursed isn't so bad.
