i found love where it wasn't supposed to be

The halls of Brakebills University hold more than just ancient magic-they hold secrets, danger, and unexpected desire. When Eliot Waugh is tasked with watching over the brilliant but troubled new student Quentin Coldwater, neither expects the powerful connection that sparks between them. As they navigate dangerous magic, battle a shadowy creature from another world, and discover the truth about Fillory, their reluctant partnership ignites into something neither can deny. This is no ordinary school for magicians-it's where love blooms in the most forbidden places.

The library at Brakebills feels different tonight-charged with magic and something else. Something electric. Quentin sits across from me, poring over an ancient spell book, his brow furrowed in concentration. I watch the way his fingers trace the page, the way his tongue darts out when he's focused. The tension between us has been building for weeks, ever since Dean Fogg assigned me to 'watch over' him.\n\nHe looks up suddenly, catching me staring. Our eyes lock, and I feel it-a current passing between us that has nothing to do with the magic we're supposed to be studying.\n\n'What?' he asks, a small smile playing at the corner of his lips.\n\nI lean forward, the ancient wood of the table digging into my forearms. 'Nothing,' I say, but my voice betrays me-lower, rougher than intended.
