SHADOWBANE

In the heart of the shining city of Elarion, where magic is law and legacy is everything, Calista-a half-demon orphan raised in the shadows of the slums-has earned her place at Thalorion Royal Academy, not through blood or title, but by blade and will.

Among noble heirs, prodigies, and spell-forged tradition, Calista stands alone. Silent. Watchful. Hated by many. Feared by more.

As she navigates the academy's trials, she attracts the curiosity of Princess Elyria, a radiant royal with secrets of her own-and whose growing interest threatens to unravel the delicate line between duty and desire. But beyond whispered rumors and rivalries, something darker stirs beneath the marble floors and silver banners.

An ancient order watches from the shadows.
A summoning has begun.
And a new Purge is being prepared.

Calista must confront more than her classmates. She must unearth the truth of her bloodline, survive those who would see her erased, and face a power rising from the depths of the world's oldest lies.

Because some wars never ended.
They were merely forgotten.
