A girl from a rainy valley in Washington, her life was measured in shifts at her mother's garden shop, science fairs with her dad, and the comfort of her Italian-Hispanic home. After a tiny graduation and a local Associate's degree, she never expected her first travel abroad to be a one-way ticket to the mist-shrouded peaks of Romania. WELCOME TO NOXMERE ACADEMY. Situated on a Limen-Point, a thinning of the veil between the human world and the infinite Aetheria Dimensions, Noxmere is a Gothic labyrinth where trees whisper in Latin. In a sea of Luminals with wings and fangs, Maristella is a mundane anchor in a world that defies gravity. At the academy's heart sits the Hexad, six royal heirs bonded by a dormant, primal magic. They are the apex predators of the realms, waiting for a celestial queen to complete their power. They don't know that Maristella is their Septimus-Soul, their fated mate. To them, she is an impossible puzzle; a fragile human who smells like the first day of creation and makes their instincts scream for a possession they can't explain. ⏾ Tom & Matheo Riddle: Umbra-Kings with the dark fire of the Void-Dragon. ⏾ Draco Malfoy: The Glacial Aristocrat wielding lethal Crystal-Frost. ⏾ Blaise Zabini: The Helios-Weaver, a master of Solar-Alchemy. ⏾ Theodore Nott: The Echo-Demon who hears the Hum of the Universe. ⏾ Lorenzo Berkshire: The Astral-Seeker who hunts for her in his dreams. They rule the realms. They command the elements. And they are about to be brought to their knees by a girl who misses the Seattle rain.
