Academy of the Western Forest

If you decide to bury the higher fae honestly—condemned to a terrible death—be prepared to pay with your own power so he can return… not entirely. And then he’ll start stalking you as a forest monster and demand that you finish the rite. Why me? What kind of luck is this for me?

It all began when a mortal girl dared to step onto the magical paths to learn who she really was. There she met Alamber—the Amber Lord: strong, dangerous, and far too intelligent. In exchange for his help, he demanded payment—three wishes—securing the bargain with magical marks on the skin of his new charge.

That girl was me, Ula. I reached my dream and uncovered my true essence. I am a faerie-glaestig, and ahead of me lies studying at the Academy of the Western Forest. There are only a couple of “little things” left to deal with.

First, I need to sort out the matter of the Thorn Knight: it seems his resurrection is now on my account. If I don’t complete what was started, all my power will go to him. Second, to fulfill two more wishes from the bargain. Third, not to lose my mind at the Academy, where, as it turns out, Alamber runs the Faculty of Magical Paths. Looks like I definitely won’t get a calm year.
