Senior year was meant to be easy for France Santos. It means finishing off his high school career with his best friends since childhood. The goal was to enjoy a well deserved senior year, and to not think about the past. Unfortunately France Santos isn't that lucky. While France Santos met France Basile from an idiotic bet with his friends, he learned that his friends were hiding things. As the secrets are unraveled, truths becomes lies, and emotions are revealed at an all time high, it's up to the Frances to keep the friend group together. It probably doesn't help that they share the same name either. @stella_vigo for the cover @XalouetteX for the banners

Naomi Cliffton believed she would go her whole life hiding her true identity. To the people of Tyrra, she is someone barren of magic and a social pariah. In reality, she is the last dragon shifter: a lone survivor of a race that was killed off for being a threat to Tyrra's hierarchy. In fear of being persecuted like her ancestors, Naomi has never revealed herself, until a chance encounter with one boy changes everything. Malcolm is not the simple guy he claims to be when they first meet, but the prince of Tyrra, escaping from the castle to avoid his royal duties. When street thugs uncover his ruse, they seek to abduct Malcolm and cross Naomi off as collateral damage. Desperate to save them both, Naomi transforms, unleashing her inner dragon. Exposed, Naomi has to accept the pact the king offers: her freedom in exchange for becoming Malcolm's bodyguard. Naomi joins Malcolm at his elitist school where she deals with prejudice from her classmates and growing animosity towards Malcolm's pretentious ways. But when someone tries to murder Malcolm, Naomi must put their differences aside to uncover the conspiracy against the royal family. As more threats stack up, one thing is clear: with a determined assassin after the prince's life, it's up to Naomi whether or not the killer succeeds.
