Her magic was meant to make her powerful. Now it’s dragging her toward a secret built on lies.
Yote Diamondback spent years under her father’s relentless drills, learning magic until her hands ached — and living in her sister’s shadow.
When she’s offered the chance to attend a legendary elemental academy, Yote sees more than just a school. She sees freedom, challenge, and the chance to define herself on her own terms.
But freedom comes with a cost. Unsettling visions and buried family secrets push her toward a future someone else planned.
The truth she uncovers could shatter everything she’s ever believed. If she can’t master her power and face it head-on, she risks losing more than her newfound freedom.
The Arcane Prophecy isn’t another copy-and-paste YA tale about factions and brooding heroes. It’s a story about a girl fighting for her own future, no matter who tries to write it for her.

The Arcane Prophecy is A Young Adult Academy Fantasy by TC Marti.
Yote Rattlesnake has finally entered that excellent academy of elemental magic. In that world magic and fate were entirely linked. She was at last free from the heavy influence of her family and from her older sister, Jet, who is extremely powerful. For the first time Yote was able to be herself. At home everyone had been watching her and their expectations had kept her in check so much that she couldn't even breathe. But at the academy no one told her what to do and she could choose her own path, finally being able to use the power that had always been inside her – a power which she had never before dared to touch.
It wasn't only about lessons; it also gave Yote a safe place to clear her mind. She had the opportunity to delve properly into elemental magic and ancient runes, both of which contained a great many old secrets. She met friends with whom she could face difficult times, but also faced unexpected betrayal. Each challenge tested her and helped her figure out what she truly wanted in life. The world was full of mysteries and magic, continually bringing new wonders. Each day brought her a little closer to who she was meant to be, making her future a bit clearer.
