Ko-Kaul: Mystarcana is a romantic fantasy set against the unforgiving snowscapes of Auroria, where legacy and ambition are as dangerous as the winter itself. Maisie Emmalyne Morton, a fiercely intelligent scholar, has devoted her life to completing her late father’s research—an obsession that earns her both renown and isolation in the magical academies of Havenbrook and Sigilspire. When her predatory mentor, Dr. Calren Deylor, revokes her permit and steals her research, Maisie is left with nothing but her father’s journal, a fading reputation, and a burning desire to uncover the truth.
