Twenty years after a devastating war, the kingdom of Haldoria is finally living in peace. The enemies have vanished, the borders are secure, and a new generation is being trained to protect the continent.
Hidden in the quiet district of Brammere, Hettie Kildare has spent her life under the constant watch of her overprotective parents. Sheltered from real life, she yearns for something more.
After turning twenty-one, Hettie seizes the opportunity to join the kingdom’s most prestigious academy, determined to prove herself beyond the limits of her small town.
Dragged into a world of magical training, combat lessons, and discoveries about the kingdom’s history, she finds herself drawn to a powerful and enigmatic second-year student.
More than just handsome, Zadok exudes an aura impossible to ignore. He is respected among students and professors, seemingly untouchable, and burdened by something she desperately wants to discover.
As the attraction between them grows, secrets start to unravel, and strange events surround Hettie.
A hidden mark awakens.
Power stirs.
And the enemies, silent for decades, begin to move again.

✨ Glimmerdrop is a fantasy academy romantasy featuring slow-burn romance, magic, hidden legacy, fierce rivalries, and a heroine whose very existence may rewrite the kingdom’s future.

She won't take him back--no matter what. Or will she?

Hayden Jenkins has lived in her hometown of Missoula, Montana, ever since she was born. She lives a simple life surrounded by her loving family, and that seems to be everything she needs.
Or so she thinks.
When her oldest brother’s wedding approaches, she fears facing a ghost from her past, the one who left her heartbroken seven years ago—Spencer Bailey, Hayden’s former high school sweetheart and the man who made her pretty much give up on real love.
After graduation, Spencer left Montana to pursue a career in music in Los Angeles, which ended the relationship between Hayden and Spencer. They never spoke with one another again.
Until now.
Spencer's return leaves Hayden uneasy and anxious, still unprepared to face him after so long.
Will it bring back unresolved feelings? Will they be forced to confront their past? Or will it be a second chance to rewrite their love story?
