The Last Lineage

In a kingdom ruled by bloodlines, hers was never meant to be found.

For Fans of A Fate of Wrath & Flame, A Serpent & the Wings of Night, From Blood & Ash.

in the shadow of the crown, magic is both a blessing and a curse

As secrets awaken and the Crown’s reach tightens, Emery is thrust into a tangled web of lies, lineage, and power. Haunted by her parents’ mysterious deaths and the ache of something long buried, she’s torn between shoving it all down to live a quiet life—the one they decided for her–or risking everything to uncover the truth, even if it means losing her sister’s love and betraying the only home she’s ever known.

  • SLow Burns

    Budding love triangles and reckless lust.

    Sugar… no. Spice, YES.
    The boy next door would give her the world if she asked—sweet, steady, and always waiting.
    The dangerous stranger sees too much, says too little, and might just burn everything down—including her.
    And the hot guy in her class? That was supposed to be casual. A distraction. So why does it feel like more?

    Loyalties will tangle. Hearts will misfire. And slow-burn sparks might turn to wildfire.

  • Forgotten BloodLines

    Something rare? Or something… cursed.

    She thought she was ordinary—just another angry girl from a forgotten village with no lineage to protect her and no power to claim. But when a Crown guard with dark eyes presses a strange item into her palm, everything unravels. A buried bloodline stirs. Magic awakens. And the truth? It’s been hiding in her bones all along. Older than the Crown. Older than the kingdom itself.

    And now, the realm is watching.
    And destiny? It’s done waiting.

  • Elemental Magic

    Elemental magic hums beneath the skin of the kingdom—ancient, volatile, and bound by blood.

    Four Lineages rule the known world—fire, water, earth, and air– but whispers speak of one that’s been long forgotten.

    The Academy claims to shape the gifted. Emery has neither pedigree nor training, yet the wind listens, the forest leans close, and a strange warmth stirs beneath her skin.

    Something is awakening—and it isn’t part of Fernivall’s curriculum.

Born from secrets. Bound by blood.

In a kingdom ruled by bloodlines, Emery Blackthorne has none.
Or so she’s always believed.

Stuck in Briarloch, where magic is shunned and ambition gets you nowhere, Emery knows how to survive—keep her head down, bury her restless heart, and never, ever wish for more.

But when the annual Inspection brings the Crown’s gaze to her doorstep, everything changes. A strange encounter. Unsettling questions. And the quiet life Emery’s lived begins to unravel.

The Academy is recruiting the gifted—and it turns out, Emery may not be as ordinary as she thought.

Forced to question everything she’s ever known, Emery must navigate a world where trust is dangerous and magic even more so. With loyalties shifting and her sister’s love hanging in the balance, she faces an impossible choice:

Remain in the shadows.
Or risk everything to uncover the truth.

​​What is broken in shadow rises in light.

✔️ Hidden Magic, Forbidden Power
In a kingdom where magic is controlled, Emery’s is the kind they try to erase.

✔️ A Magical Academy
Fernivall trains the gifted—but Emery was never meant to be invited in.

✔️ Rebellion, Power, and Identity
What do you do when your very existence threatens the system built to contain you?

✔️ A Small, Cursed Town Full of Secrets
Briarloch isn’t quiet—it’s hiding. And Emery’s about to dig too deep.

✔️ Mystery, History, and Hidden Truths
The past is layered in lies. Her lineage is one of them.

✔️ The Sunshine Best Friend (Who Maybe Wants More) or The Tall, Dark, Dangerous One
Piet is steady, safe, and has always been hers—until he isn’t. A Crown Guard calls her “girl” like a warning. And still, she doesn’t run.

✔️ Lusty Love Triangles

Trust me, it’s not what you think it is.

✔️ Enemies-to-Something-More Tension
That electric, hold-your-breath, stare-too-long kind of pull.

✔️ Found Family—But With Secrets of Their Own
The people who raised her know more than they’ve ever said.

✔️ “I Don’t Have Magic… Right?”
Everyone says she’s ordinary, but her magic says otherwise.

✔️ Magic as a Secret. Magic as a Weapon. Magic as a Lie.
And Emery? She might be all three.
