Isla was never supposed to be seen. Raised in silence and trained to stay hidden, she has spent her entire life learning how to survive without drawing attention. No name in powerful circles. No known bloodline. Nothing that should matter. Until Velmorne Academy sends her an acceptance letter. A place reserved for the strongest magical families in existence. A place she should not belong. But Velmorne doesn’t make mistakes. From the moment Isla arrives, everything begins to shift. Magic reacts to her in ways it shouldn’t. Students who should ignore her can’t look away. Whispers spread through the academy like wildfire about the girl with no known origin. And then there is Luca Veyr. Feared. Untouchable. Dangerous in a way no one speaks about openly. He notices her first. Which is exactly what makes Isla realize something is very wrong. Because Velmorne didn’t just accept her. It recognized her. And whatever she is… it was never meant to stay hidden.
