The Spark That Binds

<p><strong>Micah Gravemont has always been the disappointment the quiet fifth son of a powerful werewolf family sent away to Ashenwall Academy in hopes he might finally become useful. Instead he finds himself alone with nothing but his frog familiar mocked for what he isn't and overlooked for what he could be.</strong></p><p><strong>Alaric Valmont is everything Micah is not: polished untouchable the golden heir of a legendary mage dynasty. To the academy he's a perfection incarnate. To Micah he's the boy whose gaze lingers too long and whose touch sparks a magic neither of them can explain.</strong></p><p><strong>Damien Sevrin becomes Micah's sharpest rival: sharp-tongued magnetic and dangerous in ways that go beyond his cutting words. Cruel on the surface but hiding fractures beneath Damien is a presence Micah can't seem to escape... or ignore.</strong></p><p><strong>At Ashenwall where power and bloodlines decide who belongs Micah must navigate rivalries family expectations and magic inside him he barely understands. Yet in the shadows of ambition and tradition he begins to realize that finding his place might mean rewriting everything he's been told to be.</strong></p><p><br> </p>
