The Butterfly That Swallowed the Mist

Tilia Ambrose, who fought her way out of poverty, despises Elex Davenport, a privileged and notorious libertine at the Arcanthis Royal Academy. He is the second son of House Davenport and one of the academy’s top students, a man who seems to embody the unfairness of the world. Though Tilia and Elex are worlds apart, she ends up in bed with him. Elex believes their ending was destined from the very beginning. Their connection brings together a woman shaped by struggle and a man whose advantages and behavior make him seem like everything she resents.
