Science-fantasy, romance 

From a lineage of warriors, Ira was raised a weapon, her bones cast in metal, her heart set in ice. Unlike many of her warrior kind Ira was born amongst nobility, torn between the world of battle and tournament, and the world of royalty. She has only ever known honour, pride and blood, but when Ira stumbles down into the icy streets below the city in order to push her training, she falls too far. Finding herself in a new world of dark uncontrolled powers, and angry, rather alluring men, danger and betrayal of the catastrophic and magical kind await Ira upon the icy horizon. With the kingdom donned in a thick web of lies, her only friend a jealous prince, and the discovery of dark magic in their city, her world is thrown into bloodied chaos.
Where will her heart lie when the choice is forced upon her? What will guide her blade in the dark end? Her honour or her heart?

Too bad his second chance at life didn't come with a warning label. Reborn into Ezura, a realm where magic flows like water and power corrupts like poison, Eren's pure heart makes him the perfect target. As an apprentice mage with stars in his eyes and trust in his soul, he dreams of becoming the hero in a world that has no use for them. But Ezura doesn't reward the pure-it devours them. When his faith in humanity is shattered by a betrayal that leaves him bleeding out in a ditch, something inside him breaks. Or maybe, something awakens. Gone is the boy who wanted to save everyone. In his place rises someone who understands the truth: if the world wants a villain, he'll give them a masterpiece.

They're about to learn why you shouldn't leave your victims breathing. But every time he stares into the abyss of his own making, echoes of his former self whisper from the depths. And in quiet moments, when the mask slips, one question burns: Is he becoming stronger, or is he just better at breaking? ✧ A tale of twisted redemption ✧ Morally grey protagonist ✧ Psychological warfare ✧ Complex magic system ✧ Strategic manipulation ✧ Found family (but toxic) [Updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday] #MagicFantasy #DarkFantasy #Reincarnation #Revenge #MagicAcademy #PsychologicalThriller #Antihero Start the journey.
