When Emma moves to Florence, Italy, for a fresh start, the last thing she expects is to make an enemy on her first day at her new school. Enter Ilario Ferraro, a popular, arrogant local who seems to take pleasure in reminding her that she doesn't belong. From the bustling school hallways to the quiet corners of the art room, their rivalry unfolds in sharp words, constant challenges, and a series of tense encounters that neither of them can seem to avoid.
Determined to prove herself in a city where she's just the "straniera," Emma refuses to let Ilario intimidate her. But as their paths cross again and again, their sparring begins to reveal a deeper connection neither wants to admit. In a battle of wills and stubborn pride, Emma and Ilario must navigate their resentment, hidden chemistry, and the unspoken feelings that threaten to unravel everything they think they know about each other.

Lights of Aurelith
On the continent of Elandor, everyone is divided by kingdom. Every kingdom has its own rules, its own magic, and its own people. Yet once children reach age eighteen, they are all summoned into one Academy. There, enemies are placed in neighboring dorms and old grudges are carried into the common area. The Academy was never built on trust - it was built on fear. Fear that without it, the kingdoms would forget the fragile threads that keep war at bay. We're not supposed to trust each other, let alone care for one another. But tell me how I'm supposed to ignore the one person I can't stop looking at? To walk the Academy's corridors is to carry the weight of every border, every scar, every whispered hatred. No one arrives without suspicion. No one leaves unchanged.
