Elderwyn: Book 1 - The Hidden Heiress

By Liora Elden

Sometimes magic does not need to be found,
only remembered.

At Elderwyn, magic is not taught through spectacle, but through discipline, restraint, and understanding.
Alba Prince excels at all three.

Brilliant, distant, and fiercely controlled, Alba has learned to survive by seeing more than she says. Few know who she truly is, and fewer still are meant to. Elderwyn is her refuge, a place of order and silence where knowledge offers safety.

That balance shifts with the arrival of Tiberius Vale.

Transferred from a powerful and secretive institution, Tiberius is observant, disciplined, and unsettlingly perceptive. He does not seek attention, yet it finds him regardless. Where others see Alba as untouchable, he sees the fractures beneath her precision. Where she guards herself with intellect, he meets her with understanding.

As their rivalry turns into something more dangerous, Elderwyn's walls begin to whisper. Old alliances stir. Forgotten names resurface. And Alba's carefully constructed anonymity starts to crack.

Because in a world shaped by legacy and power, love is never neutral,
and some names are worth killing for.

A slow-burn fantasy romance set in a gaslamp-inspired magical academy, for readers who love intelligence, atmosphere, and quiet intensity.
