In the Unitam Realm, power determines where you belong. 
 
Blind, orphaned witch Claire has spent her entire life wondering where she belonged. 

She’s grown up in a small coven on the outskirts of the Unitam Realm. While the teasing about her blindness hurts, the ridicule the coven members give her about her orphan status cuts deeper. What kind of disappointment do you have to be to have your parents abandon you? 

When the semi-sentient Academy sends her an acceptance letter, she's sure it's a mistake. If she doesn't belong at Windshire, she surely won't belong at the Academy. But what does she have to lose? 

As she navigates new friends, intense classes, and professors who seem to be split on whether she will pass or fail, her power starts to unravel inside of her, leaving Claire with more questions about her parents and where she belongs. 

And why does the Stonemont Triad (Desmond, the charming wizard, Everett, the silent Gryphon, and Malcolm, the grumbly Dragon) want to get to know a low-level witch like her?

  This is a slow-burn HEA RH and the first book in the series. Slight cliffhanger at the end. 

In the Unitam Realm, power determines where you belong. And Claire just unlocked more of it. 

More questions than answers is the story of Claire’s life now. Where is she from? Who are her parents? And why was her vision the cost of binding her magic? 

She survived her first year at the Academy, but someone out there seems determined she won’t live to see the second one. Dark magic is calling beasts out of the Elven Forest that haven’t been seen since the Great War, and they all seem to have a strange fixation on Claire. 

Her Triad and friends have sworn to protect her, but Claire doesn’t want to lose the family she’s just found in them. She’ll have to figure out how to control her rapidly growing magic if she wants to be the Champion of the Realm the Academy has called her to be. 

With dark magic beasts, an over-interested Council, and magic that just keeps growing, Claire will have to venture into the Elven Forest in her hunt for answers about her parents, her birthright, and the true start of the Great War.
