Magic & Blood

Nova Seraphine Mikaelson-Riddle was born into power.
The daughter of two legendary bloodlines, she carries a legacy that most people would crumble under. A Mikaelson never backs down. A Riddle never loses. The world expects Nova to become exactly what her family names promise: powerful, dangerous, unstoppable.
But Nova wants more than the life that was chosen for her.
When she finally steps out of her family's shadow to build a future of her own, she quickly discovers that escaping a legacy like hers is far more difficult than she ever imagined.
Especially when Jace Thorne Berkshire enters the picture.
Arrogant, brilliant, and just as stubborn as she is, Jace comes from a family with a reputation almost as intimidating as Nova's. From the moment they meet, rivalry sparks between them like wildfire. Every challenge becomes a battle, every conversation a war of words.
But the deeper they are pulled into each other's lives, the more they realize something unsettling.
They might not be enemies at all.
Because behind the power, the pride, and the expectations of their families, Nova and Jace share the same secret fear: the fear of becoming the very legacy they were born into.
And when old loyalties, dangerous enemies, and family history begin to close in around them, Nova will have to decide who she truly wants to be.
The heir to a powerful legacy...
or the girl brave enough to create her own.
