Junior Jinx (North Pole University #4) - Paperback

She's a sprite who's always felt too small. He's cursed by dark magic that could destroy everything. At North Pole University, some bonds are forged in frost and fire...

Ivy Snowfall never expected to be chosen for the prestigious Elemental Tournament—not when most sprites at NPU tower over her tiny stature and dismiss her delicate magic. But when her acceptance letter arrives, she's determined to prove that size doesn't determine worth, even if it means facing opponents twice her strength.

Rowan Blackthorn returns to North Pole University carrying more than just textbooks—he bears an ancient family curse that whispers of prophecies and dark magic. Cold, feared, and desperately trying to control powers that threaten everyone around him, he's resigned himself to a life of isolation.

When Ivy accidentally triggers one of Rowan's protective spells during orientation, they're magically bound in a link neither understands. Forced to partner for the tournament, Ivy's bright optimism crashes against Rowan's icy walls—until a strange frost surge awakens something ancient and dangerous.

As mysterious jinxes plague the campus and their magical bond deepens, Ivy and Rowan must uncover the truth behind his family's curse before it destroys not just their growing love, but North Pole University itself. Sometimes the smallest spark can thaw the coldest heart—if it's brave enough to try.
