Black Obsidian by mrsmoox

In the heart of the ruthless Solkarian Empire, where power is law and dissent is met with steel, Kaelis Valeran is a survivor of her own damnation. Branded a traitor for wielding the forbidden magic of the Obscuralis, she was torn from her home and imprisoned in the fortress of Vareth-a place where pain is a lesson and obedience is carved into flesh. Five years later, she no longer remembers the girl she once was. She has become a weapon honed in darkness, trained to kill at the Empire's command. But the world beyond Vareth has not forgotten her. Elias Prian, the boy who once swore to protect her, has spent years searching for the girl who vanished. When he finds her, he does not recognize the hardened warrior standing in her place. The Empire has twisted her into something unbreakable, something lethal-but not invincible. Dante Varos, the Empire's most feared general, is a man whose name alone is enough to break spirits. Cold, calculating, and bound to duty, he sees Kaelis as nothing more than another blade in the Emperor's arsenal-a tool to be sharpened and wielded, not trusted. But when a mission turns into a death sentence, they find themselves hunted by the very Empire that created them.

After years of captivity within the royal castle, Ophelya cannot fathom why her father has suddenly cast her into Gladius, the most feared academy in the realm. Is he discarding her? Or is there a darker game at play? Only one man holds the truth. The general. The monster. The prince and the most dreaded fae to walk the earth. But at Gladius, nothing is as it seems. Lies coil through the corridors like restless specters, every whisper is a blade, and behind every mask lurks a betrayal waiting to strike. The deeper Ophelya digs for answers, the tighter the snare of power, deceit, and forbidden longing coils around her. Now, in a den of predators, she must learn to endure. Because at Gladius, strength is law, weakness is a death sentence, and seeking the truth may very well be her downfall.
