"What am I?" Ryder practically whispered in terror. Nothing would ever be the same again in Ryder Shaw's once normal teenage life, not after a dark stranger crashes her first high school party. A deep voice inside of Ryder convinces her to believe the stranger and his warning of a brutal death by wolves made of earth and trapped souls if she refuses to follow him. Now forced into a parallel world she only thought existed in her dreams, elemental powers she never knew she had are spinning out of her tenuous control. There's more to all of this, she knows, but the stranger, Graynin Rathem, coldly refuses to tell her.

At the heart of Amberguarde lies Stormvein Institute, a fortress where heirs of noble houses, warlocks, paladins, and summoners are trained to master the three great forces-Solar, Lunar, and Astral. But beneath its towering halls of living stone, rivalry runs deeper than magic. Macey Rinaria, the so-called Mad Mage, bears lunar power too volatile to control. Haunted by whispers and a past drowned in fire, she knows one misstep could shatter more than her reputation. Connor Heslington, son of a knightly dynasty, carries the weight of his family's Astral legacy. His oath is to order, not chaos-and certainly not to mages like Macey. When their clash in the lecture hall spirals into a duel that awakens forbidden powers, the two are forced onto a collision course that could tear apart the fragile peace between their houses. Fog conceals secrets. Glyphs hum with warning. And as ancient forces stir-Hinara, Ceao, and Gilgamesh-the truth becomes clear: Stormvein is not a sanctuary. It is a battleground. Magic is rivalry. Rivalry is survival. Began: 7.02.2019 Completed: 21.04.2020 Rewrite: 15.09.2025
