Starlight & shame

Born to House Starlight and Shadow, Blair was meant to shine. Instead, she’s the daughter no one wanted — powerless, forgotten, and sold into a political engagement like a piece of furniture.

In a realm ruled by magic and bloodlines, Blair is a disgrace: no spark, no gift, no future. Her brother commands light, her sister whispers to shadows, and Blair? She survives — in silence.

But power doesn’t always roar.

Sometimes, it waits.

Thrown into the halls of the High Fae Academy, where bloodlines matter more than merit and humiliation is a daily sport, Blair must navigate cruel nobles, ancient expectations, and a fiancé she never chose — Vain, the golden prince with secrets of his own.

When a dangerous rival goads her before the entire class, Blair is forced to stand in front of the school with nothing but her pride. And it’s not the prince who helps her.

It’s a stranger cloaked in feathers and fury.

A shadow-touched heir with a grudge.

Now the stage is set.

The court watches.

And Blair is about to learn:

you don’t need magic to be dangerous.
