Violet Dandelions

In a city where power is currency, their love is forbidden. Eirian Altira has known two things her whole life. That her magic is more power than any single mage deserved to possess, and that one day she would be the queen of Endara. Tessa Valkera has also known two things her whole life. That she is too strange for her fellow mages, and that she deserves to be the future Grand Mage of Riane. Equally powerful, equally outcast among their peers, Eirian and Tessa play a dangerous game with their hearts and their lives. Forced to love each other in the shadows while pretending to be rivals in public, they long for nothing more than the freedom to be together. But rebellion stirs in the elven nation, and as the heir to the human kingdom, Eirian becomes a target for those who would see the alliance between humans and elves crumble. When suspicion is cast upon the Valkera house, Tessa's strangeness becomes a convenient misdirection that threatens her life. With her dreams of a life with Tessa collapsing around her, Eirian is forced to choose between love and duty.
