The Banished Contract Mate

In the typical tale, the fragile adopted Omega is the misunderstood hero, and the talented witch sister is the cold-hearted rival. But at Cypress Peak, the roles are lethally reversed. Mia Harrington is the genius behind the runes, the survivor of the flames, and the rightful mate—yet she’s been stripped of her credit, her home, and her family’s love, all handed to Grace, the girl who plays the victim while weaving a web of stolen glory. While her father and ex-fiancé celebrate a fraud, Mia is disappearing into the shadows of the Crystal Moon Council to sharpen her power in exile. They think they’ve broken her, but they’ve only freed her to watch as Grace’s forged empire crumbles, leaving the family who disowned her to face the one thing they can’t manipulate: the truth.
