Forbidden Magic

Book 1 of 4 - Sorceress Academy

When fourteen-year-old Celeste's heritage magic accidentally awakens a 500-year-dormant network, every magical authority in Europe descends on her Scottish academy. Now she's falling for Kael, the enemy's mysterious son whose impossible bloodline makes their combined magic dangerously powerful. But some of these "authorities" aren't here to protect her—they're collectors who want to own rare bloodlines, and Celeste just made herself the most valuable prize in the magical world.

The Characters

  • Celeste is a fourteen-year-old with natural leadership abilities and strong elemental magic who leaves her sheltered royal life to attend Gadleigh Academy. When she inherits the Luminous Gem of Fire, she discovers her family's dangerous connection to an ancient magical war. After betrayal and devastating loss transform her from protected princess to determined warrior, she must lead her team in hunting down her father King Roland's 11 Artifacts before their enemies claim them.
  • Kael is the adopted prince of Draelan, torn between loyalty to his kingdom and the dark legacy of his father, the necromancer Buhara. At Gadleigh Hollow, he forms a complicated bond with Celeste, marked by rivalry, trust, and growing affection. Gifted, guarded, and haunted by his past, Kael walks the line between hero and betrayer as he searches for his own path.
  • Buhara is a powerful and feared necromancer determined to destroy the sorceress academies and seize control of the seven kingdoms. Ruthless and manipulative, he commands dark forces to serve his will. As Kael’s father and the architect behind countless betrayals, Buhara’s shadow looms over Celeste’s destiny and the fate of magic itself.
  • King Roland of Estetia is the legendary hero who forged the 11 Artifacts twenty-five years ago with his trusted ally Buhara, only to have that friendship destroyed by betrayal and corruption. Now Celeste's father and a grieving widower, his emotional breakdown after Skylar's murder forces his fourteen-year-old daughter to assume leadership responsibilities far beyond her years.
