Reverberance. Daric Hollow, #4

AmaraMy Reverberance once allowed me to enter the emotional echoes people leave behind. I thought understanding their grief, fear, and love would help me carry it. Instead, their memories began to replace my own. Now I no longer know whether Daric Academy can make me whole again or whether every attempt to heal me will strip away what remains of the woman I used to be. I accounted for the risks of Daric Academy.
I did not account for Nathaniel Reed turning his relentless attention on me. He is controlled, powerful, and infuriatingly certain that Selvar magic is a threat. He questions every hesitation, notices every fracture I try to hide, and looks at me as though he intends to uncover every secret beneath my skin. I should hate him for it. Instead, every argument pulls us closer. Our magic clashes. Our bodies follow.
The tension between us sharpens through every spar, every confrontation, and every moment his control slips just enough for me to see the hunger underneath it. Nathaniel distrusts everything I am, but he is also the first person who looks directly at my damage without turning away. The more clearly he sees me, the harder it becomes to remember why I am supposed to keep my distance. Because wanting him is dangerous.
His touch makes me feel present in my own body again. His mouth makes every thought disappear. And when he finally stops fighting what burns between us, I begin to want more than recovery. But Daric is not my home, Nathaniel is not a safe choice, and loving him could demand more of me than I have left to give. I came to this Academy to find myself. I never expected to lose myself in him. Reverberance is the fourth book in an interconnected romantasy series, where each installment follows a different couple within the same emotionally chaotic friend group.
Expect returning characters, evolving relationships, layered magic systems, and romance arcs that continue unfolding across the series.
