Condition: Good Used. Some wear on cover. Title: Blood Over Bright Haven Author: M.L. Wang Genre: Dark Academia Fantasy Blurb: Sciona has spent twenty years clawing her way toward the prestigious High Magistry, only to discover that becoming the first woman admitted is just the beginning. Assigned a janitor instead of a proper lab assistant, she initially clashes with Thomil—a former nomadic hunter who has his own reasons for questioning Tiran’s magical elite. But when the unlikely pair uncovers a devastating secret behind the city’s prosperity, they must decide how much they’re willing to sacrifice for the truth. Dark academia, forbidden magic, conspiracies, and plenty of “well, that escalated quickly” energy. Key Tropes: Dark academia • Forbidden magic • Unlikely allies • Class divide • Competent heroine • Outsider protagonist • Slow-burn emotional connection • Conspiracy • Oppressive power structures • Steampunk/gaslamp fantasy Spice Level: 1/5 — Mild / Fade-to-Black (glimpses and kisses; no explicit scenes) Note: Some databases categorize the romance differently, but the consensus is that the romantic element is subtle rather than a primary romance plot.
