Her Spell That Binds Me

Iona enters Lysander College with little of the status or experience enjoyed by its privileged students. Ariadne, a gifted witch from a noble family, has every reason to see the newcomer as an obstacle. Their rivalry sharpens around a powerful pendant associated with Morgan Le Fay, drawing ambition and attraction into the same contest. In a magical version of the Regency world, talent alone may not be enough to overcome the advantages of wealth and pedigree. Iona and Ariadne must navigate what each wants from magic and from the other, even as competition makes trust difficult. The opening novel of Her Spell Trilogy places their relationship inside a dark academic setting where power has personal costs.
