Heliotrope

Alyra Vale was never supposed to matter.
Low power. Low status. Low expectations.
Just a girl with a shaky magic spark and a crush on someone far, far above her reach.

Until the night everything inside her broke-
and her powers didn't just awaken...
they exploded.

Now Aly is the most dangerous mage in the kingdom, hunted by the same people who once ignored her. Feared. Wanted. Marked for execution.

Even by him.
The boy she loved.

As Aly's power spirals, enemies close in from every side-commanders, corrupted officials, jealous heirs, ancient forces trying to control her magic from the shadows.

But Alyra Vale isn't a weapon.
She isn't a prophecy.
And she's done being afraid of what she can do.
