She returned from the ashes not as a savior, not as a villain, but as something the world doesn’t have a name for.
Elariax Velintrae remembers what they tried to erase. The boys who loved her, the school that caged her, the betrayal sewn into every spell.
Now, three are drawn to her: the prince, the prodigy, and the ghost of a boy who once swore to protect her.
But love won’t save them.
It will expose them.
And when the final thread tightens,
she’ll choose who burns
and who breaks the world beside her.
She isn’t the villain.
She’s the author of the ending.
