What begins as chance proximity quickly deepens into a meaningful sisterhood marked by shared faith, vulnerability, and the growing realization that they are stepping into a calling far greater than themselves.Old coping mechanisms resurface with a demonic vengeance. Faith, once comforting, becomes complex and demanding. Healing does not arrive neatly-it disrupts, exposes, and reshapes them against their will.

"Since it looks like I'm fated to death, seems only fair to mess with it..." Before, Ashley Wolfe lived in a cave, loved by her parents. Cared, protected, and nurtured. However, when they died years ago, things slowly started to crumble. Ashley doesn't know what to expect outside of the only home she's ever known. Now, she's packed and ready to go, because the longer she stays, the higher the chance of her wimping out like a coward and dying a slow and painful death. So when she stumbles upon a group of men, they bring her to Arca; an underground civilization with deep tunnels and cavernous rooms. But, when she arrives, the high council forces her to take an evaluation every 20 year old takes to show where they fit into the community. A test that measures your magic, because every survivor that hasn't fell into illness of the pandemic that killed humanity and turned them to mindless monsters, is a descendant of an Olympus god and has their blood running through their veins that makes them able to live longer, immune to illnesses, have enhanced abilities, and able to do lesser magics. When Ashley's results turn to Aegis--High-Elite Gaurd, she's thrown away into a lethal academy where she must survive deadly initiations, vicious recruits, and a super powerful and brutal instructor. In a world of magic and death, betrayal and secrets, war and monsters, can Ashley uncover what's beyond the deep tunnels and what secrets hide in the dark, all while standing on the thin line between life and death? Well, I guess were about to find out... ("Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and Blood of Hercules, this relentless romantic fantasy features a deadly war academy where survival is the only option.")

People always said I lived in my own world. Honestly? They were right. Reality was boring. Tests hated me. My stepmother hated me more. And every teacher I ever had swore I was "capable but painfully lazy." Hated me too. Whatever. I liked my laptop more than I liked them. I wasn't dumb-just tired. And maybe a little too good at dreaming. My name was Sera Collins, the girl nobody talked to, the girl who never scored above average, the girl with a fire inside her chest that no one recognized because they never bothered to look. I had one friend once. She left. Everyone does. So I walked alone... stubborn, bruised, defiant. And I prayed-just once-that life would give me something different. Something unreal. Something that felt like the stories I loved. Turns out, life has a twisted sense of humor. Because the night I had my accident... I didn't wake up in a hospital bed- I woke up in someone else's body. A boy. A dead boy. Kairus Vaelthorne, the coward of a world I didn't know, whose heart had stopped at the exact moment mine slipped through dimensions. And before I could even scream, I was dragged into his destiny- a warrior academy where students weren't taught to live... they were trained not to die. Dragons, Gryphons, Wyverns, blades, secrets whispered in hallways- and one rival whose stare burned colder than winter steel. Zephyrion Astraveil. The boy who would become my greatest enemy... and the one fate wouldn't let me escape. This isn't the life I chose. But it's the story I got. And gods help me- I'm going to survive it.

Alone, broken, and nine months pregnant, she must carry the weight of a kingdom, protect her child, and guide her young son as his powers struggle to recover. For now, there is peace between Vaeloria and Noctharis, but darkness gathers just beyond the horizon. A new evil, born of vengeance and twisted magic, rises stronger than the Mad Mage ever was.

Tarin's magic is fragile, his abilities still healing from past horrors, while his mother struggles with grief, responsibility, and a new life growing within her.

In Between Shadows, love, sacrifice, and courage will be tested like never before and the next chapter of destiny will demand that heroes face not only darkness outside, but the shadows within.

Grad nije uvijek bio ovakav. Ili se barem Elira nije sjećala trenutka kada je prestao biti topao. Magla se pojavila tiho, ujutro i navečer, a zatim ostajala cijeli dan, prodirući u ulice, kuće i misli. Ljudi su govorili da je to samo zima, ali Elira je znala da nije. Magla skriva ljude i ono što postaju kada misle da ih nitko ne vidi. Elira je odrasla između tišine i očekivanja. Roditelji su znali što bi trebala biti, ali nikad je nisu pitali što jest. U školi je učila jezike mrtvih civilizacija i tajne zaboravljenih rituala, ali nitko je nije naučio kako preživjeti vlastite misli. Svaki dan bio je isti - ocjene, pogledi, zidovi, i osjećaj da negdje postoji život kojem ne pripada. Sve se promijenilo s Adrianom. Nije bio spas, niti greška. Bio je ogledalo. Njegove oči nudile su samo istinu - sirovu, opasnu, iskrenu. Pripadao je svijetu tišine i dima, a Elira je prvi put osjetila da je netko vidi bez potrebe da je popravi. Ispod ljubavi i odrastanja, prijetila je druga istina: Selira. Hladna, opasna, moćna,vampir. Dok Elira uči kontrolirati svoju snagu, Selira manipulira iz sjene, izazivajući opasnosti i testirajući granice moći i povjerenja. Grad nije više samo grad. Ljudi su ogledala. Elira mora odlučiti - svjetlo ili tama.Demian je bio više od običnog prisutnog. Njegova pojava nosila je težinu i magnetizam, nevidljivu nit koja je uvijek vukla Eliru bliže. Njegova energija bila je poput dima - prodirala je kroz njene misli, otkrivala dijelove nje same koje je pokušavala skrivati. S njim, Elira nije osjećala pritisak da bude savršena. Njegov pogled bio je miran, ali prodoran, i svaki put kad bi je dodirnuo, bilo je kao da vrijeme stane, kao da grad i magla nestaju na tren. Njihova povezanost nije bila jednostavna; bilo je tu privlačnosti, ali i opasnosti, jer Demian je bio vezan za tajne koje je grad skrivao, a Elira je znala da svaka njegova odluka može promijeniti sve.
