La bruja negra

Carnissa Gardner, the last Black Witch, repelled enemy forces and saved her people during the Realm War. She was one of the greatest Gardnerian mages. Elloren Gardner, 17, is the spitting image of her famous grandmother, now dead, though she doesn't have magical powers, and that's not good in a society that prizes magical abilities above all else. After the death of her parents, Elloren and her siblings are raised by her uncle in a forest village. Elloren wants to go to Verpax University to become an apothecary, but her scheming aunt-in-law wants her to marry Lukas Gray, a powerful wizard and political ally of his aunt. Elloren rejects Lukas's proposal, only to discover that his aunt's influence extends and makes his life at university fraught with danger. At the University, Elloren meets all kinds of different creatures, winged Icarals, shapeshifters, Elves and Selkies, and ends up falling in love with Yvan, whose Keltish background can't quite fit with a Gardnerian like her. Elloren learns to question Gardnerian authority and history, while developing real empathy for different peers, befriending the most outcasts and outsiders, the only trustworthy ones, while beginning to question everything she knows and thought she knew about history. and the culture of Garnderia, realizing that there is a good reason for the growing opposition to the new government of his country and for beginning to question also what he thought he loved and hated.
