The Elysium Legacy

Princess Valora Elysium has spent her life protected, polished, and placed on a pedestal she never asked for. But Dragoncrest Academy doesn't care about crowns-it demands strength. It demands grit. It demands survival.

Defying her father and brothers, Valora enters her first year determined to prove she's more than a sheltered royal. The Ascent is only the beginning. Ahead lies a year of brutal classes, unpredictable magic, political sabotage, shifting alliances-and classmates who would rather see her fall than rise.

But Valora is done being protected.

As friendships form, enemies sharpen their blades, and old secrets stir within the academy's volcanic heart, one truth becomes impossible to ignore:

The mountain chose her.
The shadowflame recognized her.
And the dragons are watching.

Valora must survive a year designed to break the weak, outsmart foes who underestimate her, and awaken the power sleeping in her bones-

Before someone else claims it first.
