Our Dark Incantations

Some scars can't be healed with good intentions—and some allies can't be chosen.

Ex-healer Mira Winters swore off magic the moment the war ended, and she meant it. But desperation has a way of rewriting oaths. Now she's back within the stone walls of the newly reopened Ivercrest University, enrolled in entirely the wrong department, surrounded by students who cast spells like breathing—and inexplicably partnered with Aidric Dawson, the most insufferable, dangerous Wielder she has ever had the misfortune of meeting.

Aidric is exactly the kind of person Mira has spent her whole life avoiding: arrogant, ruthlessly skilled, and harboring secrets dark enough to make the shadows nervous. She needs him for access to the demonology texts that might hold the key to healing her incurable scar. He needs her for reasons he refuses to explain. Neither of them needs the murder investigation that drags them both into the university's rotting underbelly—where something ancient and hungry has been waiting in the dark.

This lush dark academia romantasy weaves together forbidden magic, royal conspiracy, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers tension so electric it practically crackles off the page. As Mira and Aidric circle each other through candlelit corridors and deadly incantations, the line between enemy and ally grows dangerously thin—and the cost of surviving may be trusting the one person she swore she never would.

Some magic leaves marks. Some marks change everything.
