The original goal was to keep her head down and survive another year of school. Nova's plan was uprooted by moving back to the town she once grew up in.
Her memories are cracked. Her powers are waking up. Two boys are as drawn in by her as she is them. One doesn't remember her. One can't forget her. One of them might not make it out of this one.
Her mother's warnings resurface as ghosts from the past- and present- haunt her dreams. After a harrowing week she's pulled into the protection of friends. A motley crew that are destined to take the world into their hands, as the protectors before them once did.
A dark shadow veils the town. It lives by the name Malachi- the man her mother feared most- is watching them. Plotting against them. Waiting until the time is right to unleash her twin against her.
When the moon rises and casts an orange glow over the town- suffocating the sun behind it: time is up. Nova will be forced to decide if she is the girl running from her past forever, or the one forged by it.

The Sleeping Fortress
Blood remembers fire - but mercy decides what burns. When Nova Sol arrives at Crimson Vale Academy, she expects ancient traditions and endless rules - not a fortress that breathes, a commander who burns like a secret, or an oath that remembers every promise ever broken. For centuries the Vale has slept, guarding a world that forgot how to listen. But within its walls, Nova discovers a power written in her blood - one that can mend the Oath ... or unmake it. As rival Houses scheme and the Council demands obedience, the fortress stirs, whispering in dreams of the war that once shattered it. To awaken the Vale is to risk the world - but some things are meant to wake. The Sleeping Fortress begins The Vale Chronicles - a dark-romantic fantasy of conscience, power, and the mercy that binds them both.
