➵ ────୨ৎ────

In a world where human lives mean nothing, every choice leads to death, sooner or later.

When Xyrena Draven  turns eighteen, she has only three options:
Enter the academy, receive a Mark from the gods and survive long enough to reach the fourth year to train as a dragon rider, join the military, or spend her life as a slave with no future.

Like most people, she chooses the most dangerous path. 

The Mark she receives is not a gift, but a forbidden curse. Its power slowly destroys her body and makes her a target for those in power. 

While being hunted, Xyrena is tied to Kaelen Rodrigues, the Crown Prince who should be her enemy and the only person who can either save her or destroy her.

As a revolution begins to rise, the world demands one final decision.

Who deserves to live and who must be sacrificed for real change to happen?

FULL BOOK ON KINDLE UNLIMITED!!! In the elite Arclight Academy, where aspiring riders forge unbreakable bonds with mythical creatures to wield immense power, eighteen-year-old Serenya Vale arrives as an outcast. Plagued by a mysterious, life-draining illness that leaves her frail and fading, she enters on a rare scholarship-mocked as a "charity case" unlikely to survive the brutal trials ahead. On her first day, a chilling encounter with the infamous third-year Kairen Draxen, a brooding dragon-bonded rider shrouded in living shadows, changes everything. When his darkness inadvertently brushes against her, it eases her constant pain for the first time in years, forging an inexplicable soulbond between them. Terrified yet drawn to the cold, emotionless boy who commands fear across the academy, Serenya discovers that his shadow magic recognizes something vital in her-a latent light that could heal or destroy them both. As training intensifies for the deadly bonding trials in the perilous Wilderness, Serenya must navigate ruthless rivals, hidden conspiracies threatening the academy, and her growing forbidden connection to Draxen. Together, their opposing forces of shadow and light awaken a rare twilight magic powerful enough to reshape the world-but at the risk of consuming them entirely. In a tale of resilience, forbidden romance, and the thin line between salvation and ruin, Serenya learns that true strength isn't found in health or power, but in embracing the darkness that binds her to life.

Hated by her clan. Hunted by No-Landers. Desired by Kings. Leyla is a Warrior. Strong. Fast. Unwavering. Yet she looks nothing like a Warrior. Dark haired and green eyed, she stands out in a Kingdom full blonde-haired blue-eyed citizens who all tower over her. Despite their differences, her rank as an officer in the Warrior Army makes her untouchable to most. But things start getting complicated when Leyla attracts the attention of the idol of all, the shoe-in for the next Warrior King: Colonel Alec of the House of Steel. Jealous princesses and angry superiors are not the only problems on the horizon when a messenger appears from the powerful Land of Light with an offer for the Warrior King that will change Leyla's life...
