Interrupting your reading with a little Bonus Content! This is my way of leaving some fun goodies behind with little behind the scenes extras I have as I consolidate the original half chapters into single, longer-form chapters.
Here is the original version of the series cover, by yours truly! (We've come a looong way, woof)
Note: Since this story is an entry for the Tapas AF Contest, which requires a minimum of 20 chapters with 1500 words each, the initial chapters will be published in halves for ease of updating (Chapter 1, Chapter 1.5, etc) and consolidated in October. This chapter's status is: unconsolidated
In a cutthroat world where rank and status are dictated by magical affinity, Elana is all of these things. As the last surviving heir of Duke Vanquise, famous war hero and elite dark mage, her lack of magical ability is... a complication. Especially when she is thrust into the famously brutal Royal Magic Academy, where survival is never a guarantee.
With the odds stacked against her and only her own raw intellect and Soren, her rival-turned-attendant, to rely on, can she stay alive long enough to realize her true potential?
