THE COST OF HIS TOUCH

Iced_violet34I
a world where power is inherited and magic runs through bloodlines like heirlooms, status is everything—and love is the most dangerous game of all. Evelyn Hawthorne lives in the shadow of a grand name and a broken home. Born into a family that treats her like an afterthought, she survives each day with sharp wit and quiet resilience. At her elite academy, she excels just enough to draw envy, but never enough to belong. Behind closed doors, her stepmother’s manipulations and her stepsister’s cruel games keep her firmly beneath the surface of privilege. Then there’s Alexander Valerius—heir to the most powerful magical family in the city, enigmatic and untouchable. He moves through life like he owns it, because in many ways, he does. But fate has other plans. Drawn together by coincidence, bound by secrets neither fully understand, Evelyn and Alexander must navigate a city teetering on the edge of unrest. With status games, political power plays, and ancient magic simmering beneath every surface, one misstep could unravel it all. When the city rises in flames, will love be the spark... or the ruin?
