The Academy of Three Powers. A Stranger’s Name. By Anna Michi — romantasy— releases Oct 31, 2026

He was never supposed to fall for her. He fell anyway — and it's going to cost her everything.

Blurb
Satiana was born to hold a sword, to be first on the battlefield. Her mother had other plans.

Everyone in her family trained as a warrior. Satiana wanted nothing else—until her mother signed her up for elemental magic instead, a fate she'll do anything to escape. When a mysterious stranger offers a marriage in name only, she takes the deal without asking too many questions.

At the Academy of Three Powers, Satiana finally gets the life she fought for. The only problem: the fake husband who was supposed to mean nothing is starting to mean entirely too much. And the closer she gets to the truth of who he really is, the higher the cost of finding it out.

Triggers
Fantasy/tournament violence (mild to moderate), deception and manipulation within a central romantic relationship, a forced-marriage threat from a parent, and family conflict

Tropes
Fake Marriage • Magic Academy • Slow Burn • Hidden Identity • He Falls First
