Every hundred years, the Games begin. Raised to fight for her Hall since childhood, Juliette has spent her entire life training to win. Failure means disgrace. Victory means survival.

A warrior from an enemy Hall. A man she was raised to hate. A man she may soon have to kill. As the Games grow bloodier and the lines between enemy and ally, friend to foe, begin to blur, Juliette is forced to choose between victory and the people who have weaved their way into her heart. Because in the Games, mercy can get you killed. And love may be the most dangerous weakness of all. Juliette is playing the deadliest game, and there's no going back, even if it means killing a little girl, or a boy she loves.

Andrea Noctiswell was never meant to arrive at Hogwarts quietly. Pulled from the shadows of an ordinary life and thrown into the heart of a world she barely understands, Andrea enters Hogwarts as a fifth-year with a magic no one can explain: ancient, dangerous, and tied to a bloodline long buried by secrets. Beneath the castle's enchanted halls, forgotten trials begin to awaken, whispers of rebellion grow louder, and forces older than Hogwarts itself start reaching for the power hidden in her veins. But magic is not the only thing waiting for her. There is Sebastian Sallow-brilliant, reckless, impossible to ignore-whose loyalty burns as fiercely as his ambition. What begins as curiosity soon becomes something far more dangerous: a bond forged through secrets, duels, forbidden rooms, and the kind of love that could either save them both... or destroy what little remains of them. As darkness rises and the truth of the Noctiswell legacy comes to light, Andrea must decide what kind of power she is willing to claim and what price she is willing to pay for the people she loves. Because some magic is inherited. Some magic is chosen. And some magic was written in the stars long before she ever set foot in Hogwarts.

BOOK 1: The Song of Eggs and Souls Kieran has finally turned eighteen. The consequence? He no longer has a choice. Like every young person his age, he must take part in the Selection Trials, a brutal ritual held in every region of the world. Trials where survival is not a promise... but an exception. Because here, everything is designed to eliminate. The weakest bodies, the slowest minds, those who hesitate for even a second too long. Temporary alliances, silent betrayals, impossible decisions-each stage brings the candidates closer to only one possible outcome... survive or disappear. And those who survive are not finished. Because the Trials are only the beginning. If they manage to endure until the end, the survivors will be sent to the Celestial Mountain, at the heart of the world, to take part in the Great Egg Hunt. A unique event. An ancient ritual. A controlled chaos where adult dragons return to lay their eggs within a forbidden mountain, while the candidates are released at its summit to search for them. But an egg is not found. It is recognized. The Resonance decides. Not them. And if Kieran succeeds in surviving the Trials, he will have to face one final choice: to follow a bond he does not yet understand, in a world where every decision can forge an alliance... or start a war. Because here, nothing is simple. Not the dragons. Not the humans. And certainly not the Resonance.
