*Book 4 starts at chapter 61.* At Blackwater Academy, the Veil pulses with unease, its fragile magic threatened by the looming Bone King's siege. Adrien can no longer trust sleep or sanctuary, haunted by visions of the obelisk beneath the halls and the secrets etched into his pendant. Driven by restless loyalty and unspoken longing, he ventures through moonlit corridors to Kaelen's side-the Guardian whose silence weighs heavier than any armor. Together, they forge confessions on ancient walls, unburden fears, and uncover sparks of laughter that pierce the darkness. Yet every moment of hope is tested as the storm clouds gather and the first horns herald the enemy's advance. Pressure mounts in the hush before battle: the academy's defenses strain, the Veil's hum grows erratic, and Adrien and Kaelen must choose between duty and desire. Bound by guilt, magic, and a vow stronger than any blade, they stand at the edge of oblivion-two silhouettes against a horizon of storms, hearts beating in unison. When the Shadow War erupts, only their unbreakable bond can hold back the coming darkness. Adrien's courage, Kaelen's strength, and devotion are tested as they confront ancient curses, betrayals and redemption. " Inheritance stands a gilded cage, where longing blooms in silent veins.

Defiance tempers love's steel blade, cleaving the storm to shape tomorrow's dawn. Redemption dawns upon reborn fields, a covenant of hope in shadows healed. "

The academy sleeps, but Adrien Valmont does not. Beneath spired rooftops and layers of political expectation, a deeper legacy pulses through iron-threaded leather and whispered prophecy. Haunted by Kaelen's silence and driven by an unraveling truth, Adrien unearths the Logistaria Umbrae: a forbidden tome alive with shadowed memories and volatile magic. What begins as a search for answers becomes a reckoning with history itself. As spectral echoes from the shattered Balance Court claw their way into the present, Adrien finds himself tethered not only to Kaelen's burden, but to the name Thandrel, a Guardian erased by fear. The deeper he delves into cryptic passages and veiled corridors, the more Adrien questions whether he's studying prophecy... or becoming it. Now, with distrust seeping through the academy's halls and ancient magic stirring beneath the Veil, Adrien must choose: expose the truth and risk unraveling everything, or protect Kaelen and bear the silence himself. Because in Blackwater Shadows, the darkness doesn't just threaten from beyond... it waits within. " Inheritance stands a gilded cage, where longing blooms in silent veins.

Book 1 of LEGENDS *Can be read as a stand alone* In the mystical heights of Mount Anemone, two ancient mountain wizards, embodiments of the Dragon King of Air and the Dragon King of Fire, have secretly safeguarded lost magics for centuries. Disguised as humans yet bearing unmistakable dragon traits, they nurture and pass on their legacy through chosen disciples from ancient clans. Among these are Stefan, known as Hyde, and Felix, known as Echo. Though not related by blood, these two warriors, each hailing from distinct, venerable lineages, are united by a shared destiny. Trained in fire magic, which heals and transforms, and air magic, a nearly forgotten force that amplifies power, they live in seclusion and dedicate their lives to defending the realm from an age-old curse that has plagued humanity. Their ultimate charge is to undertake a quest to find the legendary "flower of protection," an entity prophesied to wield potent ice magic capable of countering the dark power of the malevolent Zion. Unknown to Stefan and Felix, fate has already favored this prophecy through Gianni, a hidden child raised in secret by the Dragon King of Water. Gianni's latent ice magic quietly rivals the encroaching darkness, marking him as the living emblem of hope and the key to breaking the curse. As conflict escalates with assassins dispatched by sinister forces and ancient evils stir, a spectral guardian known as the snapdragon silently proclaims its protective decree: "Hyde is always watching, and Echo is always listening." With the Blood Moon rising on the horizon, the converging destinies of these disparate warriors set the stage for the rebirth of ancient dragon magic and the restoration of balance in a realm beset by relentless strife.
