the summons. [Yumekira]
Hidden among the mist-veiled cliffs of coastal British Columbia lies Saint Dominic's Preparatory Academy - a place that one does not apply to, but is summoned to. Beneath its facade of holy devotion and elite academia, the school is a crucible where privilege is stripped bare, and only those who master risk, deception, and control survive. Here, every student is both predator and prey. They gamble not for grades but for power - reputation, influence, and survival within a hierarchy ruled by the Student Council, ten prodigies who govern through cunning and fear. At their apex sits Kira Timurov, the president whose icy brilliance and uncanny intuition have made her untouchable - a queen among serpents. When Yumeko Kawamoto, an exchange student from Tokyo, arrives after years of giref, her curiosity awakens something the school had long buried - a chain of games, betrayals, and obsessions that will pit her against Kira herself. Every encounter with Kira, whose green-bluish eyes seem to pierce straight through her, carries a dangerous, unspoken tension - a silent battle of wits and wills before a word is even spoken. As alliances fracture and the boundaries between play and cruelty dissolve, Yumeko must decide whether to survive Saint Dominic's games... or burn its hierarchy to ash. Because at Saint Dominic, power is not earned - it is taken. And once you wager your soul, there's no folding out.
Friction (Fire and Steel)
Kira Timurov has spent her life fighting for her father's approval, forged into steel by Arkadi's relentless expectations. Now, she finally has her chance to prove herself - leading her family's bid for a high-stakes gambling venture. Everything must be perfect. Everything must be controlled. Enter Yumeko Jabami - the heiress with a perfect smile, the media's darling, and Kira's greatest rival since their teenage years. Reckless where Kira is disciplined, fire to her steel, Yumeko has a way of pulling her off balance - on the boardroom floor and behind closed doors. What begins as rivalry and manipulation twists into something neither of them can deny: an obsession, a chemistry too sharp to ignore. Between power struggles, smear campaigns, and the ghosts of their fathers' empires, Kira and Yumeko find themselves torn between destroying each other and burning the world down together. They were raised to be heirs, pawns, enemies. Instead, they became fire and steel - rivals, lovers, unstoppable. Cover art sketched by amazing @roarosaurr and colored by me <3Complete
