DO NOT READ DESCRIPTION IF YOU DID NOT READ BOOK ONE ********************************SPOILERS******************************** Amira survived her first semester at Valor Academy. Her elements did not. Stripped of Earth and Air, left with only a dying ember of Fire, and exiled by the father she never knew she had, Amira returns to an academy already whispering about what happened on Harvestfest. Only a handful of people know the truth. Drax Umbranox took her powers. Amira took his hand. Now Drax is bound by a blood promise he cannot explain, forcing cruelty into every space where tenderness once lived. Amira cannot forgive him, but she cannot escape the unbearable tension still pulling them together. Every stolen glance feels like betrayal. Every moment of protection raises another question neither of them can answer. Then the shadows begin watching her. As violence spreads through Valor and the Council tightens its control, Amira uncovers poisoned loyalties, buried bloodlines, and a fate tied to the future of Portalios itself. Someone inside the academy is feeding Solen Umbranox information, and the darkness gathering around Amira may be the only power he cannot steal. To survive Semester Two, Amira must trust the people she once pushed away, build a family from fractured loyalties, and decide whether the boy who destroyed her might also be the one willing to burn the world to save her. Her elements are gone. Her rage is not.

Bethany Clarke has lived two very different lives at Eastwood Academy. Her first two years were defined by cruelty and isolation. The relentless bullying she endured made survival feel like a daily victory. Once the school's favorite target, she's now its untouchable queen, polished to perfection and admired by everyone who once looked down on her. But the crown came at a cost, and beneath the carefully crafted image is the same girl who learned too early that fitting in often means losing yourself. Reinventing herself earned her status, admiration, and a coveted place among Eastwood's elite, but it didn't bring the one thing she hoped it would: happiness. Now she's everything Eastwood respects. Desired. Envied by all. Untouchable. At least on the surface. Gavin Moran has always existed comfortably in the middle. Neither popular nor invisible, he's managed to carve out a quiet, steady place at a school where wealth and reputation rule everything. Quiet, grounded, and unknowingly dangerous to Beth's carefully guarded heart, he's completely unaware that Beth has been hopelessly in love with him since freshman year-a secret she's never dared confess to anyone. When their senior year throws them together on a school committee, the walls Beth built start to crack. Gavin's proximity pulls at truths Beth has spent years hiding, and the way his gaze lingers makes her wonder if he sees past the mask-sees the scared, vulnerable side of her and isn't afraid of it. Just as Beth starts to believe she might finally have a chance with Gavin, a new girl arrives-beautiful, sweet, just his type. With time running out and her carefully constructed world starting to fracture, Beth must decide if she's brave enough to risk rejection, exposure, and heartbreak in the name of love. Because wanting Gavin means surrendering control-and loving him might cost her everything she's fought to become. Instagram - rose_sky_miller Tik tok - rose.sky.miller

❝ A liar once said that every cloud has a silver lining. ❞ In a kingdom as renowned as Forteaux Academy, the falling of one monarch leads to the ascendance of another. Heart sliced in two by the woman he thought understood him, Gabriel Reid relishes the disassociation from humanity that came gifted alongside the golden throne. After all, the chance of emotions destroying you is non-existent if the heart itself perishes. Armed with a gorgeous face hand-carved by angels and a silver body, cast by the devil himself, the infatuated hands of all reach out for a touch of his infallible skin. Love hurts when it's tainted but kills when it's not reciprocated and a pair of seafoam eyes, obsessed with the King, knows that better than ever. With broken friendships, deep rooted bitterness and pure loathing still scattered across the Academy grounds, the reappearance of a woman having second doubts is destined to be the flame to the fuel.
