Duskborn

A forgotten witch. A dark elf prince. A bond written in the stars… and a love forbidden by the crown. Silver: I was born into destiny—the Twilight prince with white hair and violet skin, heir to a kingdom that never lets me forget who I am. At Widdershins Academy, I’ve tasted freedom: magic, sports, friendships that let me pretend I’m just another student. But as my senior year comes to an end, so does my time. The crown is waiting. So is the bride chosen for me. A woman I’ll never love. Because I don’t love women—I never have. And then Ash Vale appears. A quiet witch from a family so low they’re barely remembered, with eyes like sapphires and magic he doesn’t even realize is extraordinary. He shouldn’t matter. He shouldn’t even exist in my world. But the first time we touched, I knew—he’s the one I called to me years ago with a forbidden childhood love spell, the one fate promised would be mine. He’s everything I want. Everything I can’t have. Loving him means betraying my family, my kingdom, and the crown itself. But I’m not sure I can let him go. Not this time. Ash: Witches like me aren’t meant to be noticed. I came to Widdershins to build a future out of scraps, to prove I could belong despite my tarnished family’s name. I never expected him. Silver—a dark elf, popular, beautiful, carved from another world. He should be nothing but a reminder of the gulf between us. But when his gaze lingers on me, when his hand brushes mine, the truth is undeniable. We’re bound. I don’t know how. I don’t know why. But my magic flares for him, my soul reaching like it’s been waiting all along. And that terrifies me. Because Silver belongs to the Twilight Realm, to a throne that will never accept someone like me. Giving in means daring to love the impossible. But walking away feels like tearing my own heart in half.
