When Emma discovers she can see dead people, she's introduced to a world of shifters, haunted academies, and dark prophecies. Once her life is threatened, she's forced to team up with one of Elmore's elites, Rylan Ryder. But the intense dragon might just be the person she's supposed to be weary of.
________
Emma Richards has a few simple rules to live by for her last year at a new fantastical boarding school. One, do not attract attention. Two, never, ever show interest in the horrifying secrets spilled in the school's gossip columns--'cause yours might be next. Three, stay out of trouble.
And four, try to ignore the brooding, six-feet dragon staring daggers at you from across the school's countless corridors.
Just one hitch. In Elmore academy, the rules are made to be broken.
When a long buried prophecy comes to light and threatens all she and the dragon hold dear, the two unlikely allies would have to stick together, championing through a web of dark secrets, ruthless power struggles and their own forbidden attraction to each other...

The Chosen Nothing
A girl lives a life so ordinary it borders on invisible, the kind no one looks at twice. She was never meant to be seen, and for the longest time, she wasn't. Until something -- or someone -- found her. After years of enduring struggles, the last thing she expects is to become the target of a man who wants her dead for reasons she cannot begin to understand. Magic isn't supposed to exist, and yet the world gives way without warning, answering to a voice that pulls her into something else entirely. Going out and beyond lies a different world. One where magic is not wonder, but law -- bound by rules that force each individual into unchangeable reality. She arrives already entangled in it. Enroled in an elite academy where power defines worth, Emma is pushed into a system that leaves no space for hesitation and mistakes. Alliances form and every decision carries consequence. She doesn't belong here. That much is obvious. What is not obvious is why everything keeps circling back to her. Emma was and is never meant to be found, and whatever has begun will unravel everything she has tried to keep intact. Author's Note: Hi~ if you enjoy slow-paced stories with longer chapters -- think story-rich, narrative-driven RPGs (e.g., Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact), this is crafted for you. Patience is rewarded, and every moment is meant to deepen the journey. :)
