Vyraeth
In a fractured world where floating continents hang above an abyss of monsters and broken magic, survival isn't earned-it's controlled. At Astryx Veil Institute, a place students call The Veil, bonds aren't just formed... they're monitored, manipulated, and, if necessary, erased . Candy Moonshadow was never meant to be part of that system-too observant, too detached, too unwilling to be shaped. But when she becomes the Anchor to five dangerously unstable males-a shadow demon who was raised to erase, a fire demon who burns without limits, a chaos fae who rewrites reality, an ancient vampire who feels nothing, and an elemental fae who hides more than he shows-everything begins to unravel. Because bonds aren't supposed to form like this. Anchors aren't supposed to choose. And the Council-five rulers who maintain power through fear, manipulation, and control disguised as unity -doesn't tolerate anomalies. As truths surface about forced bonds, hidden experiments beneath the Academy, and a world that was once free before it was rewritten, Candy realizes something far worse than control is at play: she was never meant to survive this system... she was meant to break it. But as the bond deepens, emotions bleed, power destabilizes, and obsession begins to blur into something darker-because the more they connect, the more something ancient begins to stir beneath it all. And just when she thinks she understands what she is-what they are-the truth fractures: the bond didn't just choose her... something else did. Something that existed long before the Council. Something watching from beyond the Veil. And it's been waiting for her to remember.
