How to Seal a Curse (And Other Ways to Ruin Your Reputation)

For fans of Harry Potter, dark academia, magical university, and rivals-to-lovers.
At the prestigious Cairn-Gait Conservatory, magic is a matter of bloodline, and 'Ink' is the only currency that matters. Gwen O’Dorchaidhe, the ice-cold scion of a pureblood legacy, is determined to restore her family’s name by proving herself a perfect example of the magical elite. Her path to a spotless reputation is clear until Will Holloway arrives—a 'Vapour' with the raw, unrefined power of a hurricane and a target on his back as the world’s most inconvenient Chosen One. Tasked with tutoring the boy raised in the normie world she was taught to look down upon, Gwen finds herself caught in a dangerous game of resonance and secrets. When a spectral Dullahan begins a terrifying purge of the school’s lesser-born students, Gwen must decide if she will remain a pawn of the pureblood Circle or risk everything to anchor a boy who is as much a curse as he is a saviour. When the only thing more dangerous than a death curse is a forbidden attraction, Gwen is about to learn that some reputations are better off ruined.
