In a mansion on the outskirts of nowhere, Sarah had built a sanctuary of sorts, but not everything was what it seemed on the surface to be. Trusted friends and strangers in need, both mingled and found a place to call their own in the secluded property. When a self-proclaimed King rolls into town to collect "tribute", it will be up to Sarah and her friends to convince him that he has overstepped the boundaries of what is "his". With a fight on their hands, and serenity at stake, can Sarah keep her family and friends safe? Or will the new King take everything away, leaving nothing but smoke and ash in his wake?

When 16-year-old Cassia Ashford is accepted into the prestigious Welldenoury Academy, she hopes to leave behind a troubled past and find control over the mysterious powers she barely understands. But as she steps into the ancient, mist-shrouded school nestled deep within an enchanted forest, Cassia realizes her arrival is no coincidence. Haunted by a past accident she can't explain and whispered warnings from a forest that seems to watch her, Cassia soon learns that Welldenoury is more than just a school for the magically gifted-it's a place woven with ancient secrets, elemental legacies, and a hidden power locked within the Misty Forest that may be awakening because of her.

But when whispers from the forest grow louder and glowing lights beckon her into the shadows, Cassia is forced to ask herself: what if her powers aren't a curse-but a key?
