Discovery of Fate and Magic
She’s just a barista… until the world starts looking for her. Ellie lives a quiet life inside a dark academia bookshop café… pulling espresso, shelving books, and ignoring the strange dreams she’s had for years. Until the day a man walks in. And something in her recognizes him. The connection is instant. Unexplainable. Gone just as quickly. She tells herself it’s nothing. But then the signs begin. A cup that won’t cool. A book that writes back. A stranger who whispers: They’ve started looking. And the most dangerous warning of all: When he returns… do not give him your name. Because Ellie isn’t just Ellie. She is Althea Vaelis. Last of a lost bloodline. Bound to a power she was never meant to remember… and a fate that will ignite a war between realms. And the man she can’t forget isn’t just a stranger. He’s a weapon. A prince. A sorcerer. And the only one who knows her true name. * This no-heat prequel introduces the world. The main series is adult romantasy with open-door romance.
