Brilliant. Powerful. Royally disappointing.
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?
