Silner

SILNER

Crystal has spent sixteen years believing she was ordinary.

Abandoned by her mother, raised by the aunt who never answers her questions, and haunted by a past no one will explain, she's stunned when a letter summons her to a secret college hidden beneath the streets of Durham-where witches, warlocks, teleporters, mind readers, fae, and other gifted students learn to control magic the ordinary world will never know exists.

But Crystal isn't just another first-year.

As strange powers begin to awaken inside her, whispers spread across campus. Powerful families are watching her. A ruthless coven thought to have disappeared is suddenly on the move. And the brightest students at the college are vanishing without a trace.

The only person who seems to know why is Angus-a charismatic warlock destined to lead the Magical Council. The more he reveals about Crystal's past, the more dangerous she becomes. Because the truth about her father's death was buried years ago... and her mother's greatest sacrifice was never meant to be discovered.

Now the coven has realised she's finally been found.

And this time, they're not coming for her magic.

They're coming for her.

Because some secrets should stay buried.

And some girls were never meant to survive.

Perfect for fans of dark academia, British fantasy, slow-burn romance, magical mystery, and high-stakes YA adventures, Silner is the first book in a spellbinding new fantasy series where every secret has a price-and forgetting who you are may be the deadliest magic of all.
