Lightning should've ended Marcus Shaw.
It didn't. It made him the rarest thing on campus -- a storm-caster who can fuse powers with others.

Beneath Fenwick lies Spellbound Academy, a covert program where gifted freshmen train while rival agencies close in. Marcus joins an unlikely crew -- Elena the strategist, Sage the theory prodigy, Kira the half-fae shield, and Derek, the rock-steady "reality anchor." Together they unlock collaborative casting -- magic that multiplies when they connect -- and it terrifies the establishment.

A ruthless handler, Victor Ashford, is recruiting in public and kidnapping in private. When he springs a campus trap, Marcus's found family must master synchronized spells, misdirection, and consent-based links -- now, or watch the academy fall.

Expect:

•
New-adult romance (18+, consent-positive, why-choose) where intimacy strengthens bonds -- and power.

•
Progression & light GameLit -- trials, resonance meters, real level-ups through cooperation.

•
Slice-of-life breathers -- dorm coffee, study rooms, rooftop talks -- between audits and ambushes.

•
Academy intrigue & conspiracies with agencies that don't play fair.

Read free with Kindle Unlimited.
If you love team-centric power systems, covert programs, and bonds that make spells hit harder, you're home.
