Maelia never wanted to be a hero. She delivers letters. That's it. But when a dying stranger presses a strange orb into her hands, Maelia finds herself carrying more than mail - she carries a secret that could unmake the world.
In a land divided by magic, where nobles hoard power and the oppressed whisper of rebellion, the orb holds the truth behind it all - a truth long buried with the ancient phantoms and the mistakes of the legendary Merlin.
Guided (and occasionally harassed) by Zephyr - a sharp-tongued, mysterious phoenix - Maelia journeys through the fractured kingdoms of the Mirror World. She meets the forgotten, the ambitious, and the dangerous. She's no chosen one. But when you carry the thing everyone wants, choice has a funny way of finding you.

Blood Bound, Bone Deep
Feyra has always known that her magic comes at a cost. Every time she heals, she takes the wound into herself-burning it into her skin, into her bones, into the scar over her heart that never truly fades. But pain is a small price to pay to protect the people she loves. Especially Mila-her best friend, her constant, her heart-sister. At the Academy, students train to bond with wyverns, master ancient magic, and survive the politics of bloodlines and power. But when Mila's shapeshifting demon heritage spirals out of control during a training trial, Feyra is forced to push her power further than she ever has before-nearly losing her life to pull Mila back from the brink. Now recovery is slow, the pain is unrelenting... and everyone has questions. Including Zeraph-the new third-year leader with a reputation sharp enough to cut. Stoic, disciplined, and carved from controlled fire, he believes Feyra's sacrifice was reckless. She believes he doesn't understand what loyalty means. And Zero-her closest friend and constant defender-has no intention of letting Zeraph dictate anything. But Feyra's scars are changing. Mila's demon forms grow harder to control. And deep beneath the school, in the old wyvern tunnels, something ancient has begun to stir-responding to Feyra's mark... and to the bond between them. Some magic binds. Some magic burns. Some magic was never meant to exist. And the price of saving each other may be becoming the very thing everyone fears.
