The world was in ruin, no elf or creature escaped, except for a select group. Darkness covered the surface, nowhere was safe. So they moved underground.
Over a hundred years have passed and no one remembers what the surface was like, some even go so far to suggest it doesn't exist. All that they know is the Cave. But things start happening, people go missing and turn up in the Lakes with their Gems ripped from their chests. Every elf is born with a Gem, it is their heart and soul, no one can live with it removed. Or so they thought.
Young Naita is no one special, but when she falls into an unmarked tunnel she discovers that everything might not be as it appears, that, maybe, even the stories of their past might be a facade. Only her best friend Kenzi believes her and together they have to find answers before it's too late.

In the heart of the ancient Amazon, two siblings are bound by a magical legacy and a solemn vow. Sam, the young heir to the Dark Wolf Pack, is his sister's sworn shield. Luna, blessed with the vast, untamed power of the rainforest itself, is his reason for living. But their world is shattered in a single night of betrayal when Sam's body is stolen by his master, the dark magician Lightning, and forced to commit an unspeakable act that destroys their family and leaves Luna for dead. Years later, Luna lives a fractured life in Ireland, hiding her magic and healing her trauma with the help of a found family of fellow shifters-a leopard, a snake, a rabbit, and a mysterious crocodile bodyguard named Luca, who carries a secret connection to her past. Just as she begins to trust and love again, a storm from her past returns. Sam, scarred in body and soul from years of torture and imprisonment, risks everything to escape and clear his name. He must confront his former master in a final, magical duel to prove his innocence to the sister who believes he betrayed her. But just as they reclaim their bond, a more insidious enemy strikes from within: a terminal illness.
