The Girl Who Wasn't Chosen: A dark romantasy academy romance with chosen one subversion, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a heroine no one saw coming by Seraphine Vale
She wasn’t chosen. She wasn’t even supposed to survive the first trials.

But at Gravemoor Academy—where bloodlines rule, destinies are sealed in ink, and power comes at a deadly price—one girl refuses to play by prophecy.

Aren Vale is a mistake in the system. A glitch in fate. Every Oracle said she wasn’t the one.

So why is the magic bending around her? Why is the heir to the deadliest house watching her like she matters?

When her name appears on the sacred list of Initiates, Aren becomes the target of sabotage, secrets, and sabotage from the chosen elite who were promised the world… and aren’t willing to share.

But this academy has secrets of its own. And some powers are awakened—not chosen.

Now, the girl who wasn’t supposed to matter might be the only one who can break the cycle of ruin that’s haunted Gravemoor for centuries.
