Academy Of Misbegotten Grace
Ariamendle is more than just a boarding school. It is the child of primordial being, whose halls attract seelies from around the world to learn magic within it's halls. Classes are tough, entry is a battle, and exams are deadly. And all this comes before the duels, a system where students are encouraged to turn on each other in games where any stake is permissible, and all bets must be honoured. Enrolled in the school are Primoradial Heirs, seelies of noble birth, whose word is like law, and to cross them spells disaster. Ariamendle is, in every way, a school for the most elite of the seelie community.
Child of a seelie family, Neo Tesosa was raised in Sydney and fell in love with her estranged father's work as a world renowned fashion designer. Her dream is to one day follow in his footsteps. But beyond the veil of the world, another realm calls to her. The world of Rìoghachd Sìthiche, a world of magic. Stubborn as a cat, determined as a falcon, she is forced to make a compromise that changes her life.
Enrolled to escape a lifetime of abuse, Neo crosses the veil and joins a world of magic, where her dreams of fashion mix like water and oil.
Worse than her passions, she bares a secret ripe to change the social fabric of the school for good.
Her mission; to keep her head down, and graduate unnoticed.
Growing up in social housing was tough. It taught Kona grit, perseverance, and independence. It taught her to take what she wanted, no matter who it belonged to. She cut school, stole, and laughed at anyone who tried to stop her. Then she stole from a seelie, and a little cat changed everything.
Magic was real, and now it was hers. Dragged to this new world, she entered a place where no one knew who she was, what she had done, or where she had come from.
With a scholarship under her belt, Kona crosses the veil for the opportunity of a lifetime, enrolling in the most prestigious school determined to claw her way out of poverty, and bring her family with her. She devours her classes, learning everything she can to become a prodigy of magic. Her prodigy draws attention, including the eyes of a primordial crowd.
Her mission; to become the best, even if it costs everything
