Azara is the royal healer's apprentice and she's very content keeping her head down - hiding her shaky breath and the shadows that dance at her fingers.
Prince Nikolaos doesn't believe in keeping his head down. He's being trained to step into the coveted position as Wrythia's Army Commander and he ensures that everyone knows it.
So when Wrythia's most-loved prince shows up to the infirmary with a mysterious burn, Azara is forced to heal him for fourteen days. It's hate at first sight.
But Wrythia has bigger problems than scorched skin. Someone is using forbidden blood magic to twist minds and unravel loyalties from within. Nik is determined to stop them. He just needs the help of the one girl who would rather hex him than hold his hand.
As suspicion brews and old magic stirs, the reluctant allies must uncover the traitor before the kingdom burns with them in it.

Azalea
Azalea has always believed she could survive anything until the night her world cracked apart. Alone, in a place that smelled of steel and forgotten dreams, every shadow reminded her of loss, every echo of her past threatened to consume her. Her only tether to reality is the memory of Sally, her friend, whose laughter once lit the darkness, whose heart beats secretly for Ren-the same dangerous, magnetic Ren. Azalea can't stop noticing. Handsome, silent, and thrillingly unpredictable, he steps into her life like a storm she never asked for. Gloves, fleeting touches, whispered secrets, stolen glances, each encounter twists their fates tighter, drawing them into a dance where desire flirts with peril, and trust is as fragile as glass. Azalea wonders if she can survive not just the shadows of her own trauma, but the collisions of love, loyalty, and temptation that threaten to shatter everything she holds. Welcome to Azalea's story, where every touch is a secret, and every secret has a cost.
Gemstones
What if the fire they feared... was the only thing that could save them? Red never asked to be chosen. Dragged into a world of ancient schools, elemental magic, and brutal expectations, she learns that power comes at a cost - and obedience is only ever demanded by those who fear your flame. But Red doesn't burn for them. As war erupts and secrets unravel - about her past, the voice in her head, and the dark figure who understands her too well - Red must decide what she's willing to destroy to claim the truth. Even if that means becoming the very thing they swore to stop. When loyalty fractures and the world begins to fracture with it, only one question remains: Is she the weapon... or the fire that ends everything?
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.
