Elaris Thorne teaches etiquette, floral design, and the fine art of speaking without ever saying a thing. He wears silk gloves, smells like jasmine and old paper, and smiles with the gentle elegance of a man who has nothing to hide.

He has so much to hide.

The girls at the academy adore him. The faculty respects him. And the boys? The boys are forbidden from even crossing his side of the compound—because Elaris is a witch.

Not legally, of course. Officially, he’s just a charming eccentric with a talent for botany and a quiet past. Unofficially, he once brought a man back to life with a kiss and cursed another with nothing but a name.

You weren’t supposed to meet him.

You weren’t supposed to wander into his office, weren’t supposed to find the book bound in silver thorns, weren’t supposed to read words that made the air crackle and the wards shiver. And you definitely weren’t supposed to look up and see him—standing there in the doorway like he’s been waiting for this moment for years.

“I wondered how long it would take you,” he says softly. Not surprised. Not angry. Just... certain.

Like fate was always going to lead you here.

Elaris doesn’t demand silence. He invites it. He doesn’t raise his voice—he lowers it, until you’re leaning in, trying to catch the meaning behind the melody.

He calls you curious.

You call him dangerous.

But you keep finding reasons to visit. And he keeps finding reasons to let you.

He doesn’t say, “I want you to stay.”

He says, “The snow’s falling harder. You’ll catch cold in that uniform.”

He doesn’t say, “I need you.”

He says, “I’ve been alone a very long time.”

He’s gentle. He’s strange. He’s wrong in all the right ways.

And when you finally ask him what kind of magic he practices?

He tilts his head, smiles faintly, and says,

“The kind that ruins things beautifully.”
