A quiet girl. A loud idiot. And a school she never asked for. Luna just wanted to survive the orphanage and stay unnoticed. But everything changes when a random, annoyingly handsome stranger kidnaps her "for her own good" and dumps her at Elkington Academy, a secret school for people who can use Quanta-the power flowing through their veins. Now she's trapped in Pine Hollow, the loudest, messiest, most disaster-prone dorm in the entire academy. Explosions? Normal. Property damage? Daily. Housemates who treat chaos like a sport? Guaranteed. And then there's Trey Lancaster-loud, reckless, weirdly sweet, and absolutely convinced he's her mentor. Together, they manage to turn every "simple mission" into another near-death story involving burning breakfast, collapsing barns, and possibly illegal guild quests. But somewhere between the chaos, Luna begins to find something she's never had before: friends, belonging... and maybe something a little more complicated. This is Pine Hollow. Or, as everyone calls it-The Disaster Hollow. Ownership verification for RoyalRoad: The Disaster Hollow is written by me, Mild Antiseptic.
