Samika Orelvin and Kesar Astor were never meant to belong to the same world, let alone exist within the same story. She is the illegitimate daughter of a condemned colonel. He is the last heir of a ruined noble house. Different beginnings. The same stain. By the time they arrive at Arx Royal Military Academy, neither expects survival to come without a cost. For most cadets, Arx is a place of discipline and transformation. For the Bravian seeds, children of executed traitors, it is the last chance to stay alive. They have been dying across the kingdom for years, and even within the institution, the pattern does not stop. Samika insists she and Kesar are nothing more than circumstance. Kesar treats attachment as weakness. Yet in a place where trust can get you killed, they are each other's only constant, bound by violence, shared secrets, and everything they refuse to name. As Arx strips them of innocence and morality, they must decide what they are willing to become in order to survive. And in Arx, that is the most dangerous transformation of all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cover and banner are made by the amazing @Twisted_taleso7 ✨ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Inspiration: The Empyrean series by R.

The Emperor of Meridian has promised five thousand gold sovereigns to the first man who brings him a dragon. For Jack and his crew aboard the Shanty, it is the chance of a lifetime-a final score big enough to buy their freedom and leave the bloody trade of siren hunting behind forever. But killing a dragon won't be easy. First, they must find a way into the Jeweled Sea, where dragons have remained hidden for centuries. And they are not the only ones hunting them. The Emperor's bastard son, Admiral Hawthorne, is determined to prove his worth and means to claim them for himself. Meanwhile, in the Salt Market, a ruthless drug lord tightens his grip on the city and King-emperor Midas takes increasingly brutal measures to crush mounting unrest in the East. In a world where only the cruel survive and fortune favors the ruthless, how far will Jack and his crew go to secure their dreams? If you like morally grey characters, found family, pirates, and fantasy worlds filled with monsters, The Curse of Tane might be your next adventure.
