   Summary

   Ahlyna was never one to settle down, but when her brother left his child in her care and dipped, she didn't have much of a choice left. Trying her best to keep her secrets while starting her job as a History professor in the renowned Blackstaff Academy, she meets Gale Dekarios, the once saviour of Baldur's Gate, now a humble-ish Illusion magic professor. The tension between them is palpable, making it very hard for her to keep her niece safe and her heart closed.
