People see what you want them to see. Especially if you're good at it. ☆☆☆ With the weight of her past, the pain of her reality. Raine Mario, a strong and courageous teenager steps into the boxing ring with the kind of anger only a world shattering ache can leave behind. By day, she's just another sharp-tongued teenager with a reputation of being distant and impossible to read....But deep down is a soul that craves the beautiful things in life, a soul that takes care of the ones close to her. But roses have thorns don't they? With her dad always busy, she keeps herself afloat-- working at a cafe, takes care of her grandparents and makes sure no one comes too close. Then there's Alex Dezzani-the school's golden boy with a reputation that's anything but pure. Charming, reckless, and carrying his own weight of unspoken struggles, there's something about raine that unsettles him, like a ghost of memory he can't place. The walls around her so strong The hate between them so intoxicating The pull between them so undeniable And let's not forget, there's a secret that's threatening to be unveiled with Alex curiosity. A secret strong enough to break her father. As Alex's suspicions grow and Raine's walls begin to crack, the truth threatens to come to light.

Velmor - a land where strength defines fate, and power is both a gift and a curse. Shadow never asked to be extraordinary. But fate doesn't ask. It drags her into the heart of Velmor Academy-an elite school where warriors are forged, secrets are buried, and destinies are rewritten. Among the fire-forged friendships and rising rivalries, one presence keeps pulling her in-Aeron. Mysterious. Untouchable. Haunted. The academy's most feared prodigy... and the one person Shadow can't stop thinking about. He's ice, she's wildfire. He's silence, she's the storm. And yet... their paths keep colliding. In secret glances. In fierce battles. In one stolen kiss beneath the stars that neither of them can forget. "If loving her means setting this world on fire... then let it burn." - Aeron "He doesn't see it, but I do-he's not broken. He's surviving. And I'll fight the darkness in him, even if it consumes me." - Shadow As the shadows of war stretch across Velmor and a forgotten prophecy awakens, Shadow must face not only the power blooming inside her-but also the boy who sees through her walls. But in a world where alliances shift like the wind and monsters wear crowns, will love be her greatest strength... or her ultimate undoing? A story of magic, danger, and slow-burning love. The kind that scars. The kind that saves.
