An image of a castle surrounded by forest. VEILED ENCHANTMENTS. YA FANTASY WITH DARK ACADEMIA AND SAPPHIC RIVALS TO LOVERS. COMLPETE AT 80,000 WORDS. The blurb: Seventeen-year-old Blake has spent her life studying magic at Holtsworth Academy with the hope of joining the ranks of the Royal Corps, an elite infantry comprised of divine witches descended from the gods. There’s only one problem: Blake isn’t a divine witch at all. As niece of the headmistress, she is confined to the role of assistant and silent observer of the extraordinary lessons unfolding around her, her own negligible powers denying her full participation. A spark of hope arrives when Blake learns that the Grandwitch has brought a secret necklace containing a volatile and immeasurable magic to the academy. Just as she finds a way to obtain it for herself, the necklace disappears and Blake believes she knows exactly who to blame: Maeve Moram, a powerful student who has always had it in for her. What begins as a quest to recover the necklace results in Blake unearthing not only the hidden truth of her fellow hedge witches but also a deeper and darker power that she can’t begin to comprehend. Comp Titles: Every Exquisite Thing by Laura Steven (sapphic romance, rivals to lovers, generational trauma) Wisteria by Adalyn Grace (familial relationships, lost deities, gothic-lite) Snippet: “It all comes so easy to you, and you don’t even deserve it.” I scoff. “Do you think the Corps would have selected you if your mother wasn’t Lady Death? I bet Adrien only sticks around to take the attention away from him being one of the Dregs.” It can be hard to remember just how far down the gods’ bloodline he is when he’s lording it over me. But there is no forgetting just how close Maeve is to the power of Death herself. “Where I get my magic from doesn’t matter.” She steps so close that I can feel her breath on my skin. Her eyes are slits, her teeth bared. “All that matters is that I have it – and if people want to make use of it, who are you to say otherwise? Just because you hate how small you are. How weak. You must drown in it.”
