Seren Vale Ayla D'Mirra was just an ordinary girl... or so she thought. Sa unang tingin, isa lang siyang simpleng estudyante, tahimik at mahilig sa libro, at minsan pa nga ay matigas ang ulo. But everything changed the day she discovered a mysterious lavender book hidden inside a secret vase at her house - a book that pulsed with magic older than time itself.
In a single moment, her world shifted. Ang bahay, ang lungsod, pati ang buwan sa kalangitan - lahat ay naglaho, and she found herself in a place she never thought existed: Veyrion Academy, a magical school beyond the mortal realm, where ancient secrets, forbidden powers, and gods' bloodlines intertwine.
Sa academy na ito, nothing is as it seems. Students wield magic, but the true lessons are far more dangerous: secrets of the past, hidden enemies, and a prophecy that has slept for a hundred years. Seren discovers she carries a power long thought extinct - the same power her mother once wielded, a light so strong it could reshape worlds.
And then there's Zevrian Kael Altharion Veyrion - the King of the Academy, arrogant, untouchable, and cold beyond measure. He sees her as a threat. She sees him as impossible to trust. But as the threats around them grow, and the veil between worlds weakens, their paths become intertwined. Their rivalry sparks tension, their fights ignite desire, and slowly, painfully, enemies start to become something... more.
Secrets of her parents, the truth about her powers, and the danger of an ancient war rising once again will force Seren to confront one question: Can she embrace the goddess within herself without losing who she truly is?
✨ "You weren't meant to exist."
"Then maybe I'm meant to change everything."
Prepare for a story of magic, betrayal, destiny, and love that starts with enemies but might just end with a bond stronger than the realms themselves.

[ BOOK 1 OF AZITERA: YTHER'S QUEEN ]
Consumed by avarice, the four human kingdoms-the Infernal Empire, the Kingdom of Caelum, the Kingdom of Treterra, and the Nayale Archipelago-betrayed their covenant with Yther of Azitera, the race blessed by deities, who protected humans for untold centuries. They slaughtered and defiled the beings that once protected them from storm, famine, poverty, and pestilence without mercy.
Betrayed by the humans they protected, the Ytherians were enslaved. Their four queens were caged, chained, and imprisoned to serve as nutrients to the human kingdoms. The once prominent Ytherians were reduced to nothing but servants.
As the four kingdoms of the human race prospered for many years since their betrayal, one news staggered them, causing them to tremble in fear and rally their armies to protect and defend their domain: Sollel-the Mistress of Flame, one of Yther's queens-had escaped her prison. Her flames will raze hell, ready to burn the souls of her betrayers.
