Story Notes

Summary

Born the daughter of the Southern Kingdom’s most powerful duke, Katarina Solene Aurelian has spent her life in a gilded cage—her future decided long before she had a say in it. A noble title. A political marriage. A crown-bound destiny. But Katarina has never dreamed of courtly life. She dreams of steel, battle, and the chance to stand between the realm and the darkness that took her brother’s life. After years of secretly training in the shadows, Katarina seizes the one chance she has to claim her own fate—by entering Quadrivium Academy, where subjects from every kingdom compete to prove their worth. Though her noble blood binds her to the prestigious Regal Wing, Katarina risks everything to attempt the deadly entrance trials of the Valiant Wing, where only the strongest survive to become knights. But the academy is far more dangerous than she imagined. Between brutal trials, rival students, and the growing power awakening within her—radiant light tangled with something far darker—Katarina begins to realize she is not the only one hiding secrets. As a forbidden presence stirs—someone who knows her secrets of her blood and heat of her desires. To save her realm Katarina must master her magic, but to save herself, she’ll have to resist the one person who thrives in the shadows her lineage is meant to destroy. In a world of ancient magic, rising darkness, and dangerously tempting princes, Katarina must decide what she is willing to sacrifice for freedom. If you like tales of strong heroines. Epic high fantasy. Amber eyed Princes. And morally grey shadowed men. Come along on the journey.
