Lily thought she was a normal teen girl attending a normal school with a normal family and she would have a normal life. That all changed when her brother and their family friend left to attend an Academy far away from home when they turned sixteen. Against her will, Lily's family forced her to join the same academy three years later. A whole new world was opened to Lily-a world outside the normal world, an unexpected world that changed her life. The Liminalitae Realm was the NEW world set apart from the Natural Realm Lily was used to. A war thousands of years ago solidified the separation of the Realms. A faction seeking to enslave all those born without talents lost the battle, and the separation was solidified to keep the peace. Nativus Academy is a hidden pocket in the Liminalitae Realm that protects the students from negative outside forces. In the academy, Lily's life and plans were forever changed. She had zero control over and less help with the unknown trials she was going to face. She fought daily to survive while deciding to stay at the academy or return to her old life. Mean girls and aggressive teen boys with superiority complexes challenged Lily's determination and self-esteem. Discovering new alliances was the only way Lily could have any joy during the academy year. Lily struggles with heartbreaking emotions, from being top of her class to rock bottom, lost love, new hope, and a struggle to understand who she will become. Lily had no idea that forces were already shaping her destiny-guiding her life toward a purpose and ensuring her death would halt the changes she was meant to set in motion. Thrust into a world she never wanted, she soon realized it was a world that desperately needed her.

Born of a powerful bloodline, Searon is no ordinary wolf-shifter. Trained by her father, the legendary Mountain Wolf, she possesses strength, speed, and skill that surpass even the fiercest of warriors. Yet, despite all her power, there is one thing she has never truly known-a place to belong.

As old rivalries resurface and hidden enemies lurk in the shadows, Searon soon learns that power is both a blessing and a curse. Torn between love and heartbreak, loyalty and deception, Searon must decide whether to fight for her place in the pack or walk away before she loses herself entirely. But when the ultimate betrayal comes from the one she trusted most, she is forced to uncover a truth even darker than the secrets she hides. Will she rise above those who seek to break her? Or will the weight of her past crush her before she even has the chance to fight for her future?
