The Wishbound: Awakening

#1 YoungAdult #1 Utopiansociety (19.12.2025)

A magic academy. A century-old wish. A girl whose power was never meant to exist.

Catherine Hale only wants one thing: to survive her first year at Lumaris Academy without drawing attention.
But attention finds her anyway.

First, in the form of dangerous whispers about her family.
Then in a power surge she can't control.
And finally-in the eyes of Skye Ardent, the academy's strongest and most unreadable warrior.

When Cat accidentally unleashes magic she never knew she possessed, the balance of the academy shifts. Duels erupt. Alliances form. Enemies sharpen their blades. And a buried truth begins clawing its way to the surface:

Cat's power shouldn't exist.
Someone hid it.
Someone wants it back.

As Cat rises through the ranks-earning rivals, loyalty, and a dangerous new reputation-she discovers she may be connected to an ancient wish powerful enough to rewrite fate itself.

And in a world where magic comes with a price...

Cat must decide who she can trust.
Logan, the boy of speed and sunlight-
Or Skye, the storm she was never meant to stand beside.

Because the awakening has begun.
And Catherine Hale is at the center of it.
