Aethel and BMA institute.

Living under the Bellwood roof, Aethel learns early how to stay quiet, useful, and unseen. Kind by nature and curious at heart, she moves carefully through a household that never quite lets her forget her place.

a single incident shifts the course of her life, pulling her away from the familiar and toward something far greater than she understands.
Her journey leads her to Blackmoon Academy known as the BMA where trials await those who wish to earn a place through merit alone. Surrounded by strangers, strength, and expectations she was never raised for, Aethel must face challenges that will test her courage, resolve, and sense of self.
