At Crownstone Academy, being selected for the Crownstone Initiative is every student's dream. For Seren Ashford, it's a nightmare. Instead of working with her friends, she's assigned to a team filled with the academy's elite-including a prince, the student council president, and the most popular girl on campus. Their project is simple: investigate the forgotten ruins beneath the academy. What they find is anything but. Hidden chambers. Erased records. A mysterious force known as the Heartlight. As secrets buried for centuries begin to surface, Seren and her unlikely teammates discover that Crownstone Academy was built to hide something far more dangerous than anyone imagined. And the truth could change the kingdom forever.

From wherever you're from, the reign of the Nightmarewings was most likely at LEAST something you've heard of. Born as a hybrid of Dream and Nightwings, these unholy beasts were overpowered in combat and had enslaved several tribes; others had retreated to the underground or forests, and others went extinct entirely. Few dragons stood against them, and that wouldn't last long. One day, several young dragons from different tribes are thrown together by fate and are forced to work together, despite each and every one of them hating each other. The real question is, how did this happen, and who is responsible..?
