Awaken, Queen of Witches

Moria, the Dark Witch Queen, ruled the Magical Continent for a millennium. Weary of endless bloodshed, she sealed away her powers and memories, assuming the guise of an ordinary girl to enroll at the Silver Moon Magic Academy. Over the next three years, she used her hidden knowledge to guide her lover, Calvin, to the pinnacle of success—securing his victory in the academy’s grand tournament and earning him the attention of the ruling Council as a prodigious talent. On the night of the Witch’s Full Moon, Calvin proposed to her in public; Moria, believing she had found a love more precious than any throne, accepted. Yet, as she stepped into the ceremonial hall, clad in a gown of moonlight-spun silk, she was met not with a wedding, but with a binding circle cast by twelve high-ranking mages, a "Blood Judgment" presided over by Council Chair Victoria, and—most devastating of all—a forbidden spell, the most powerful one she had ever taught, now unleashed upon her by Calvin’s own hand.
