She is sent to kill the dragon. Instead, she might become his only salvation. *** In a world swallowed by the Ever-Dark, Iva Vernigora is nothing more than a lowly servant in the house of the cruel Voivode Yakub Ivanov, Duke of Highroot. But when Voivode blackmails her with the lives of her parents, Iva is forced to pretend she's his daughter, as she infiltrates the royal academy of magic - Kolegium. Voivode Yakub's order is absolute: poison the Prince Konstantin Veliki. Prince Konstantin is the heir to the throne, the last of the line of Dragons - a Zmey warrior of light, who was blessed with a dragon-shifting gift. At a first glance, he is nothing but a smug, pompous royal, and everything Iva is supposed to hate. Yet every touch, and every shared lesson at Kolegium blurs the line between the enemy she must kill and the man she is beginning to crave. While Iva stalks her prey as a knife in the dark, waiting for the chance to extinguish Konstantin's light, she discovers that the dragon everyone fears is the only thing standing between humanity and the void. As the Ever-Dark Shades rise, Iva must make an impossible choice. Will she carry out her sinister orders and secure her parents' freedom, or will she stand by the Dragon in the battle for the world's last light? *** The Shades are coming. The Dragons are falling. And the Eternal Spark is waiting for its host. © 2026 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompts: 97.

Vivienne Kingsley is not a nice person. She knows it. Everyone else knows it. And frankly, it's been working out great for her.

Enter Theo Carter - a painfully low-key medical student who wants nothing more than to survive school unnoticed. One argument between them should've meant nothing. Instead, it breaks the universe. Overnight, Vivienne becomes invisible, and Theo becomes inexplicably popular. Phones buzz. Eyes linger. Luck switches sides. And somehow, Vivienne Kingsley is now the nobody. With her life in free fall and her sanity hanging by a thread, Vivienne must navigate a world where her name no longer opens doors - and where the one person who can help her hates her guts.
