For centuries, the world of Valtherion was divided among seven kingdoms - each thriving on ancient magic. Every few decades, four mortals would awaken bearing something far greater: the Ultimate Powers - divine forces capable of bending fate, reshaping nations, and standing above all other forms of magic. In the radiant kingdom of Lumoria, two of these Ultimate Powers were born within the royal bloodline of Valeon. Aamon Veyra, the firstborn prince - son of King - wielded the Black Void, a power that could consume light, matter, and even space itself. Asheron Vaelric, son of the king's brother, Julian, commanded the Darkness, a force that bent shadow and fear to his will. And then came the king's second son - Leonarion Vale - born without a single spark of magic. A prince in a realm where power defined worth... and weakness meant exile. Yet from the heart of powerlessness, a light would one day rise - and he would be that light.

Beauty, brains, and money, power and glory will make America what it once was a century ago. Until a secret rebellion forms under the very noses of the government that created this new world order...

Maya Gupta is calm. Focused. Unshakeable. Top of her class, scholarship student, future Ivy Leaguer - nothing gets under her skin. Except Carlos López. Entitled, arrogant, and infuriatingly charming, Carlos is the rich boy who coasts through life on money and attitude. Maya has spent three years avoiding him... until a scheduling disaster lands her in the one place she can't escape: the school band - with him. Suddenly, rehearsals become warzones. Every interaction? A verbal sparring match. And for the first time, Maya's perfect composure is cracking - all because of him. But when a major band competition threatens their grades, their reputations, and Maya's scholarship, they're forced to work together - or risk losing everything. As the music builds, so does the tension. So the real question is: Will Maya survive Carlos... or fall for him?
