A magic academy bursting with rivalries, dangerous powers and combustible enemies-to-lovers tension, this series opener pulls readers into cutthroat politics and forbidden attraction. Fans who love bully-edged romance, morally grey love interests and slow-building heat across a sprawling cast will be hooked. The tone is dramatic, dark and addictively soapy. A great pick for those who want their fae-touched academia ruthless, their romances fiery and their found-family bonds hard-won.
