"The weak don't survive here." At Arclight Academy, your worth is measured by the creature you bond with. For Serenya Vale, a scholarship student born with a chronic, progressive illness, surviving the brutal training seems impossible. She expects to fail. She expects to die. What she doesn't expect is Kairen Draxen. Lethal, silent, and wrapped in living darkness, Kairen is the only rider in centuries to bond with a shadow dragon. To survive his bond, he had to stop feeling entirely, turning himself into a cold, unyielding void. No one can break his control. Until Serenya walks through the iron gates. Suddenly, Kairen's shadows are acting on their own-escaping his command to pool at Serenya's feet and ease her pain. As the lethal academy trials begin, the two are forced into an impossible proximity.

After unknowingly returning to her original world, she awoke in the frail body of a girl she recognized-a semi-villainess from a novel fated to die by her own son's hand. Unwilling to face such an end again, she resolved to sever her engagement with the crown prince, certain he despised her. Yet her sudden boldness-her unflinching gaze and daring words-shook the palace. Those who had once dismissed her began to watch closely; those who scorned her now whispered with intrigue. Prince Acacius, who had regarded her as nothing more than a pawn, found himself captivated. The more she slipped from his control, the more obsession rooted in him-and when he saw his half-brother Theodore with her, jealousy twisted into poison. Theodore had never cared for Lavinia, but her sharp tongue and strange humor pierced through his indifference. Seeing Acacius's temper flare whenever she laughed only spurred his amusement-and his resolve to claim her. Then came the saint Clotilde. She concealed a zeal no scripture could tame. Unlike the princes, her desire was not rivalry but possession. She wanted Lavinia all for herself. Even her brothers, who had long stood at the edges of her life, now hovered near, unsettled by the fire that had awakened in her. What had changed? Why did the world suddenly turn around her? Lavinia herself did not know. She only knew this: she would not bow to the cruel fate the novel had written. This time, she would carve her own path. TW UN-EDITED

Egy egyetem, ahol a diákok mellett a világ is veszélybe kerül. Egy ősi csillagvizsgáló, amelynek falai között minden gondolat, emlék és döntés ellened fordulhat. És egy fiú, aki egy másik világból érkezett - éppen akkor, amikor Violet már eldöntötte, hogy soha többé nem bízik a szerelemben. Violet Lightburnnek éppen elég lenne megküzdenie a saját démonaival és a fejében folyamatosan fecsegő Rosegolddal, amikor az Akadémia újjáépített falai között újabb diákok tűnnek el, miközben az iskola udvarán időnként olyan tárgyak bukkannak fel a semmiből, amelyeknek egyáltalán nem kellene ebben a világban létezniük. Egy tollpihe és egy zongora is ugyanolyan eséllyel eshet bármikor a diákok fejére. Amikor pedig egy különös fiú zuhan az Akadémia területére, Violet egy játék miatt olyan köteléket hoz létre vele, amelyet egyikük sem tud elszakítani. Cliff talán veszélyes. Talán a gonosz küldötte. Talán éppen ő az egyetlen, akiben Violet megbízhat. A válaszok egy ősi csillagvizsgáló mélyén rejtőznek, ahol a folyosók tekervényesebbek, mint az emberi gondolatok, és minden ajtó mögött egy újabb próba vár. Ezen a helyen szembesülhetnek azzal, akik lehettek volna, találkozhatnak azokkal, akiktől a legjobban félnek, és olyan döntések elé kerülhetnek, amelyek örökre megváltoztathatják az életüket. Violetnek ezúttal nemcsak az életéért kell harcolnia. Hanem azért is, hogy eldöntse, kit enged be a szívébe - és kit képes végleg elengedni.

Everyone laughed when Lira Vale chose the weakest beast at Eclipse Academy. A tiny black fox with no impressive abilities, no legendary lineage, and barely enough magical power to survive. But Lira didn't care. Because the moment she looked into his strange silver-violet eyes, she felt something she couldn't explain. Recognition. What Lira doesn't know is that the little fox is Nyx, a sealed Eclipse Divine Beast once feared by ancient kingdoms for his impossible ability to devour magic itself. As Lira's mysterious Eclipse Arcana begins to awaken, so does the power hidden within Nyx. Their bond grows stronger with every battle, every secret, and every danger they face.

He remembers a world that should no longer exist. And somewhere beneath Eclipse Academy, ancient secrets are beginning to awaken with them.

In her cozy isolated world away from all the buzz, somewhere in the middle of the Tumulta Rainforest, she lived a life of voluntary exile.

From ordinary tigers and leopards to extraordinarily large animals that rendered average humans petrified. An old legend says, the forest is home to rare creatures that are part animal and part man. And when the full moon rises, it becomes a grave to any who dare cross into it.

Some kingdoms fall to war. Others fall because of betrayal. Years ago, the Silver Moon Kingdom was destroyed in a single night. Its king and queen were killed. And its princess disappeared without a trace. The world mourned the lost princess Selene Silver Moon and eventually accepted the only explanation left... she was dead. But they were wrong. The princess survived. Only, she no longer lives as a princess. Now known as Seraphina Bloodmoon, she has buried her identity beneath a carefully constructed life. To everyone around her, she is nothing more than a wolf-less girl....weak, ordinary, and incapable of ever standing among the powerful. And Seraphina intends to keep it that way. Because beneath the helpless façade is a girl who has been trained to fight, trained to survive, and powerful enough to make those who underestimate her regret it. Yet there is one thing even she cannot control. Her past. Her memories are fractured, leaving behind only scattered fragments of a life she knows she once lived. A kingdom. A family. A night she can barely remember. And a question that has haunted her ever since... Who killed her parents? Determined to uncover the truth, Seraphina enters the prestigious Royal Academy, where the heirs and descendants of the Five Kingdoms gather. She believes the answers to her past are hidden somewhere within those walls. But she soon discovers that the people surrounding her may know far more about the fall of the Silver Moon Kingdom than they are willing to reveal. And then there is Rhaezar... the Dragon Prince. A prince from a kingdom whose history may be far more connected to hers than either of them realizes. As Seraphina digs deeper into the secrets of the past, the carefully buried truth begins to surface. Her memories are returning. Her enemies may be closer than she thinks. And the lost princess the kingdoms believed was dead... is coming back.

Prince Kieron de Taifas is convinced he's going mad. Absolutely, stark-raving mad. He's not sure what he did to deserve such a cruel fate. All he knows is that one day, he woke up hearing a voice no one else seemed to. It tells him to do things he would never do. Say things he would rather die than utter. Each request is more ridiculous than the last, and at first, Kieron was able to ignore it. He could live with a little madness. But then the voice starts threatening violence for his disobedience, and bad things start to happen. His life starts to fall apart. His kingdom crumbles. So he gives in. Better to live on the whims of an unseen madman than to singlehandedly ruin the lives of himself and everyone he's supposed to rule over. Suddenly, everything starts going right again. As much as he hates to admit it, as long as Kieron does what the voice says, his life will be fine. And everything does go fine. Until Liora shows up. Liora wasn't supposed to matter. She was a normal girl in a normal village, living a quietly boring life. But after her village's harvest festival, everything changes. She starts going places she would never go. Things start happening that not even a seer could explain. And that isn't even mentioning the mysterious prophecy written on her left arm. As the two unwitting and unwilling heroes embark on their journey together in a dangerous balance of rebellion and compliance, they can't help but wonder: How can one escape a being that can rewrite history at the drop of a hat? And if their lives are being written by somebody else, were they ever really theirs to begin with?
