With the Age of Dragons long dead, only the four runes promise absolution.
Days after Cateline wakes from a years-long magical sleep, she is faced with the daunting task of marrying off so her home can be rid of the curse burned into her neck. Mere hours after her scandalous arrangement with the only courter her age-a promise of freedom and safety-the masquerade descends into bloodshed, and she is thrust into a new kingdom with uncertain threats.
Safe within the walls of Lighthelm Academy of Magic, Cateline must harness her long-suppressed powers, unravel the Dragon's Prophecy that threatens to doom the world as they knew it, and discern friend from foe as those closest to her unravel the delicate web of lies she'd built to protect herself from the enemies her father had made.
As her new identity start to fall apart, the only friends she'd ever truly known start to turn on her. With uncertain allies and dangerous enemies, her struggle evolves from mastering magic to sheer survival.
Alliances shift, and kingdoms clash. Only a love that dares to defy destiny can turn the tide.

As she flees with her closest companion-whose true identity is more than she ever imagined-she discovers a destiny entwined with the fate of the land itself.

Soul Searcher
The day Elara Vale almost lost her sister, the world shifted. Roots tore through the soil at her touch, shadows bent unnaturally, and in one heartbeat, everything she thought she knew cracked apart. Her mother's truth followed soon after: magic was real, it lived in her blood, and it was time she faced the Academy. Caelestis Academy is nothing like Elara imagined. Towers carved with runes rise over a mist-filled gorge, students are sorted into factions of Earth, Water, and Air-and everywhere she turns, the absence of a fourth lingers like a scar. Soul. Erased. Condemned. Forbidden. While others wear their trauma like a badge, Elara carries only questions-and a secret she can't afford to reveal. Because the fire burning inside her does not belong to the earth she's been claimed by. It belongs to the one element the world has sworn to fear. Haunted by whispers, tangled in rivalries, and pulled toward friendships she never expected, Elara must decide who she can trust before the shadows beneath the school rise again. Some truths are heavy enough to break you. Others can set the world on fire.

Legend of Aethoria
For centuries, the legend of Aethoria whispered of dragons soaring its skies-creatures of fire, magic, and myth. Most dismissed them as fables... until Rune discovers the impossible: dragons are real.

Initially cautious of one another, they learn their strengths complement each other as they journey through breathtaking yet perilous landscapes. Ancient ruins whisper secrets of a magical past, while every clue they uncover draws them closer to a truth far greater-and far more dangerous-than they could have imagined. But the deeper they venture, the more they realize that the dragons' return could bring not only renewal but a darkness as old as the world itself. Rival treasure seekers, ancient magic, and hidden dangers test their resolve, their skills, and the fragile bond forming between them. In this sweeping tale of courage, discovery, and the weight of believing, Rune and Zephyr must decide whether to awaken a power beyond their control... or let the legends remain in shadow, forever untold.
