"The weak don't survive here." At Arclight Academy, your worth is measured by the creature you bond with. For Serenya Vale, a scholarship student born with a chronic, progressive illness, surviving the brutal training seems impossible. She expects to fail. She expects to die. What she doesn't expect is Kairen Draxen. Lethal, silent, and wrapped in living darkness, Kairen is the only rider in centuries to bond with a shadow dragon. To survive his bond, he had to stop feeling entirely, turning himself into a cold, unyielding void. No one can break his control. Until Serenya walks through the iron gates. Suddenly, Kairen's shadows are acting on their own-escaping his command to pool at Serenya's feet and ease her pain. As the lethal academy trials begin, the two are forced into an impossible proximity. Bound by a cosmic soul connection that demands his darkness surrender to her light, Kairen is terrified of losing control, and Serenya is just trying to stay alive. Featuring: > 🖤 Hurt/Comfort & Underdog Heroine 🖤 Grumpy x Sunshine (Dark Romantasy edition) 🖤 "Touch her and you die" energy 🖤 Forced Proximity & Fated Soulbonds

I'm going to be doing a 30 Day Letter Challenge. All the people/things I'm going to be writing to are inside. Since no one here knows me in real life, I decided to do this. Just click on to read bits of my life... ____________________________________ EDIT: I can't believe I shared all that shizz with random people, but thanks for all the votes/comments. I don't see how I got 3000+ reads on this, but once again, thank you! P.S. If you want me to send you the list, just ask in the comments section or PM me :)
