Two top students from rival academies with a shared traumatic past, face off in a high-stakes academic competition. As their rivalry intensifies, hidden truths and growing feelings emerge, challenging them to confront their history and discover a deeper connection.

Yelena
I was always a top student at my academy until I transferred. It wasn't just any transfer. My academy wanted me to get some information and made it look like I was kicked out so I could get into the rival academy.
The only problem was Viktor Ivanov.
Also a top student, we had the same major, science and chemistry, which led to a competition.
Getting to know him made me feel good...until I found out what a fucked up past we shared.

Viktor
I ruled this academy as the top student until her. Yelena Katsaros. Her presence has changed everything. I knew her before she came to my academy. I saw through her plan. A top student suddenly transferring with the excuse of being expelled? Bullshit. Being by her side meant everything when I got to know her. I fell in love until I discovered the shocking truth. This was not about competing anymore, but about getting over the past together.

I decided to explore a little and found a room that had a beautiful black bed. It was very masculine, but the smell gave me butterflies.

The Academy of Manipulation and Control was built on that exact premise: to manipulate and control its students and their gifts. 150 years ago, the Founders created the school to control its students, and their gifts to manipulate the elements, and force them unlearn their "magic" and blend in with society. Today the Academy has reclaimed itself by changing their name, and their reason for existence. The Academy of Manipulation and Control became "Acamancy," a safe haven for young adults to learn about, improve upon, and gain control over their gifts. They learn how to not only how to succeed in school, but how to live amongst society with their gifts, and most importantly how to use those gifts to change their lives, and their entire world, for the better. The Echoes of Rivalry and Ruin follows 19-year-old Emalyne Thatcher on her journey through her first year at the Academy. Striving to keep up her reputation as top of the class, Emalyne learns about not only Acamancy, but learns about herself. Watch as her trials and triumphs in class, romance, friendship, and the battle grounds unfold. Will "The Flamers" ruin her chances at a successful Acamancy education? Will she make it at Acamancy or be forced to live her worst nightmare, a "Normie" life... Will Emmie find love or let her anxious mind get in the way, as always. Will Emmie choose her love life over her friendships? Or will she abandon both in order to keep her top spot in the classroom...

He croaks his head and his winning expression makes me think I said something wrong, something to give him the upper hand. „So you took that as an insult, huh? Or were you rather disappointed?", the corners of his lips twitch, almost making him smile and he looks down at me, challengingly. „What? No! Of course I wasn't-" „That's it, isn't it?", he interrupts me and steps closer, if that was even possible. Suddenly he lifts his hand and pushes my chin upwards, ever so gently, so I'm looking right in his eyes, „you wanted me to say... what exactly? That's the reason you came to me when Theo wouldn't leave you alone as well, right? You wanted to be close to me." I wanted to be close to him? He was the one practically pinning me against the wall right now. I press my right pointy finger into the bare skin of his chest, pushing him away from me with it. „I've said it to you once, Nikolai, and I'll say it one more time so even you can comprehend it. You're. Not. That. Damn. Important. Not everyone wants to be close to you. Not everyone cares for you attention. Not everyone, and certainly not me!" And with that I brush past him, not turning around when walking away. I hurry around a corner, until I'm out of his sight. Only then do I allow myself to slow down. Only then do I allow myself to breathe. Only then do I allow myself to touch the part of my jaw where his hand had traced my skin. ~~~ June Lockwood loves to win. Nikolai Coleman cannot afford to loose. When the two of them meet at Everlance Academy, the most elite boarding school for competitive athletes in all of England, it's like stars colliding. It is yet to be discovered whether they will send sparks flying or cause an explosion with irreversible consequences.

I've gotten used to the dead parents face. I've gotten used to living with my gymnastics coach. I've even adjusted to sharing a bathroom with his way-too-hot son. Dealing with boys is not something that's made it onto my list of experiences as of yet. But here I am, doing it. And something about Jordan--being around him, talking to him, thinking about him--makes me feel like I can finally breathe again. That's something I haven't been able to do lately. He knows what it feels like to be me right now. He knows what it's like to wonder--what now? I think about it constantly. I need answers. I need to know how to get through this. In the gym, if you're struggling, you train harder, you do drills and conditioning. How do I work hard at moving on? At being on my own? And what happens if I might be...maybe...probably falling for Jordan? I mean we live together now. That can't happen, can it? But kissing him...well, let's just say it's not an easy activity to forget.
