Initiate
Initiation.
Where the strong were blessed, and the weak consumed.
Sixty selected.
Thirty survived.
The unworthy burned.
Thorne had never been worthy of anything in her life. All eighteen short years of it.
Her greatest tormentor is a ruthless Prince who despises her just for existing, and the master offering her help, might be the greatest danger to her of all.
The Ilvendium gets cold at night, and the woods have teeth.
Initiate is the first book in the Ilvendium Series which follows the life and trials of Thorne. It’s a Dark Academia Sorcerer’s University Love triangle between
a Bully (Prince) / Professor (General) / Student (Peasant Girl).
This story is slow burn, but it will leave the deepest scars. For now this story is available on AO3, but the intention is to eventually publish it on Amazon and Smashwords, at which point it will be removed.
