Books like The Iron flower by Laurie Forest
University life for Elloren Gardner takes a dramatic turn when she and her friends rescue a Selkie and free a military dragon, drawing the attention of the oppressive Mage Council. As the Council’s strict decrees force the underground Resistance to unite, Gardnerian troops, led by Lukas Grey—now commander of a nearby base—begin a systematic assault on the campus. Despite her best efforts to maintain distance, Lukas sees Elloren as the heir to the Black Witch’s power, a legacy that could shape Erthia’s future. Raised with the belief that she is powerless, Elloren finds herself struggling to reconcile her lineage with the magic that increasingly calls to her.
