You've been living a lie. Above you, an ancient society of mages has controlled your world for centuries. Now, their time has come.

At Solheim Academy, Hestia and her friends -students with a deadly secret on their own-are caught in a deadly race against time. 

To stop the mages from destroying humanity, they must unravel a web of lies and dark secrets hidden within the school's walls. But the more they learn, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Every lesson costs them something-trust is a luxury they can't afford, and power always demands a price. As the clock ticks down, alliances fracture, and the line between ally and enemy disappears.

Will they uncover the truth before it's too late, or will they fall victim to the mages' deadly game?

For fans of dark academia, forbidden magic, and impossible choices, this is a tale of loyalty, betrayal, and the high cost of power.All Rights Reserved

꧁༒𝕯𝖊𝖈𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖗𝖞~𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖜𝖔𝖗𝖑𝖉 𝖔𝖋 𝖑𝖎𝖆𝖗𝖘༒꧂ by LouisValeria2304

Lies are the foundation of this world. Truth? Just another illusion. In a world where truth is a rare currency and deception is a way of survival, the sanctuary of Decentry stands as the last fragile hope against the creeping darkness. Fiyona never asked to be the keeper of a relic that whispers to the dark. Never asked to be hunted by Shades that bleed through the cracks of reality. Never asked to stand beside Qualin-the infuriatingly unreadable swordsman whose every word feels like a carefully placed move in a game she doesn't understand. He fights for Decentry, just like her. But why does it feel like he's always watching, always calculating, as if she's the one being studied? In a city built on deception, trust is the most dangerous weapon. The Shades are closing in, spies lurk in the shadows, and secrets claw at the edges of their fragile sanctuary. Everyone has a role to play-mercenary, leader, traitor. But when the lines blur, when every truth feels like a carefully crafted lie, Fiyona has to wonder: Is she protecting Decentry, or is Decentry protecting something from her? Enemies in the dark. Whispers in the walls. And a partner who might be something else entirely. •Welcome to Decentry. Keep your eyes open for clues-sometimes the smallest details hold the biggest secrets!!•
