Ella Quint is your average Light fairy-bright, with a laugh that tinkles like bells, and a love for all things sunny. But her junior year at Loriea University is anything but typical. This is the year every fairy must choose their life's path: a prestigious political career as a diplomat, or the dangerous calling of a warrior.
Ella's destiny takes an unexpected turn when she's paired with Skylaur Sullivan, a wolf shapeshifter and a constant, if sometimes challenging, presence in her academic life. They're assigned to train as warriors, preparing to fight the Malevolent, a sinister dark force threatening to consume their world.
As the lines blur between friendship and duty, Ella finds herself torn between her diplomatic aspirations and the strange siren call to Sky. Their clashing interests could either forge an unbreakable bond or doom them both. Will Ella find her place on the battlefield or in the halls of power? And can she and Sky overcome their differences to graduate, or will their combined failures spell disaster for the realm?

Shy Dawn, kinless and scorned by the townspeople, lives quietly on the edge of the village. It's a lonely existence, but she clings to the fact that her life could be far worse.
Skilled as an apothecary, she holds no ill will of anyone and never turns away a person that needs her help. But what if that person is not human, but a dangerous creature feared by humanity in an ever-decimating world?
Dawn finds a theron, a shapeshifting creature typically renowned as dangerous, in critical condition and dying by the roadside. Will she go against her morals? Or try to help him and risk further prejudice, or worse, her life.
How she comes to a decision all starts with a drink at the bar...
