She never felt like she belonged…until magic pulled her into a world beyond her wildest imagination. Perfect for fans of the Throne of Glass series and the Grisha Trilogy.

Sixteen-year-old Aurora wishes she were anyone else. Mistreated by her adopted family and bullied at school, she believes things can't get any worse. But when she's kidnapped and dragged through an ancient tapestry into the magical world of Avalonia, she soon discovers that some dreams can easily turn into nightmares.

Hunted by the evil tyrant Queen Morgana, who will stop at nothing to get rid of the last surviving heir to the powerful Firedrake dynasty, Aurora struggles to fit into her new life as a mage at the prestigious Academy of Evolon. Threatened by treachery at every turn and desperate to prove herself worthy, she uncovers a dark, complicated web of political intrigue that threatens the very existence of the seven kingdoms of Avalonia.

Aided by the powerful Duke of Silverthorne, a fae friend, and a handsome but mysterious outlaw called the Black Wolf, Aurora struggles to master her magic and get her rare powers under control before it's too late.

If she fails, her new home and her family will be enslaved forever...

mixed emotions

as a fantasy genre fanatic, i’ve read my fair share of books like this. it was a quick, easy, and fun read. unfortunately, while i was reading the three book series, i noticed a lot of similarities to Sarah J. Maas’ books. these were probably coincidental but nonetheless, there were quite a lot. i still loved the world, characters, and plot. kudos to the author.

This series has everything!!

I had to stay in bed all day to finish this book. Magic, mystery, and romance all wrapped up in one book. It hits all of the things I like about this type of book. The descriptions of the food, the rooms, the clothes and more! I’ve got to buy the next one!
