Magic is meant to be studied. Some knowledge should stay buried.
Vivienne Valeran didn't come to the academy for trouble. She came to escape her bloodline's expectations and study magic on her own terms.
But when a sealed artefact resurfaces in the Arcane Library, old wards stir. Forbidden spells whisper. And the past refuses to stay quiet.
As strange events ripple through the school, Vivienne is drawn into secrets older than the academy-secrets tied to lost magic, ancient wars, and a power never meant to return.
With danger rising and trust fracturing, she must decide how far she'll go for the truth... and what it might cost to find it.
Some books change you. Some wake what should never be remembered.
