Elysium Academy of Magic lies deep within the hidden valley of Willowfern, Oregon, cloaked from ordinary human eyes by powerful illusion wards. Its marble towers shimmer beneath the moonlight, wrapped in living ivy, while glass domes glow softly with floating orbs of light. Bridges of starlight connect the halls, carrying whispers of ancient spells through the air.
Founded centuries ago by the Twelve Founding Families, the Academy serves as both sanctuary and a place where witches, warlocks, and seers learn to master their gifts. Within its walls, students study elemental magic, alchemy, combat casting, and divination, guided by mentors whose power is as mysterious as the secrets they guard.
Among them is Jonathan Carter, a transfer student from West Philadelphia whose arrival stirs a change neither the Academy nor the magical world could have foreseen. With the help of Hecate Sawyer, the quiet yet fiercely gifted daughter of the Headmaster, and Alexandra Cohen, calm and calculating with power that runs deep, Jonathan finds himself drawn into a web of magic, betrayal, and prophecy.
At Elysium, friendship can turn to rivalry in a heartbeat, and every secret carries a cost. Join the journey through the Academy's halls, where loyalty is tested, darkness awakens, and destiny begins to unfold.
After losing his wife and child during childbirth, Thomas finds himself plunged into a darkness so deep that not even faith can penetrate it. The pain is silent, the grief is cruel, and the world seems to have stopped turning. He no longer believes in miracles. He no longer believes in God.
Until he meets Noemi.
She knows pain too. She lost her husband and only son-but never lost her faith. On the contrary, her sorrow shaped her, and today she is a refuge for those who no longer know where to rest their hearts.
Two broken souls. An unlikely encounter. A thread of hope sent from heaven.
Amid bleeding memories, prayers that seem to go unheard, and a faith that longs to be rekindled, A Gift from Heaven is a story about new beginnings, healing, and the kind of love that only grows where everything once seemed lost.
