Welcome to Aethelgard Academy, a gothic, floating island boarding school where the children of elven royalty, dragon warlords, and elite mages weaponize rumors, magic, and sports to rule the social food chain. At the top sit the "Sirens"—a ruthless clique of hot, popular cheerleaders and elemental athletes led by the stunning Seraphina Blackwood and her boyfriend, the golden-boy Sun Prince, Caspian Vance. At the absolute bottom was Lyra Vance. Framed by Caspian and Seraphina for a dark magic conspiracy she didn't commit, Lyra’s first timeline ended brutally: publicly humiliated, stripped of her magic, and executed at the hands of the boy she loved. But instead of dying, Lyra wakes up gasping for air on the floor of her freshman dorm room. She has been thrown four years into the past, armed with all her memories, a secret mastery over time, and a burning thirst for vengeance.

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 20–49 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views lifetime.
