An enemies-to-lovers fantasy with notes of dark academia, set in a magical academy and perfect for fans of The Zodiac Academy, Fourth Wing and The Atlas Six.

Arianell Nocthare enters the halls of the prestigious Valmora Academy, where students prepare for war by honing their elemental magic in one of three elite units: Opal (the healers), Agate (scholars) and Malachite (the warrior unit). Aria’s brother died at this school, allegedly taking the lives of four other students in an attempt at dark magic.

Facing scorn from every angle, including her brother’s best friend (the tall, dark and lethally handsome, Sebastian) Aria is determined to clear her brother’s name and seek justice for his death. But Aria’s powers haven’t yet surfaced, so she is forced to have training sessions with none other than Sebastian – leader of the Warrior unit. A tentative trust forms between them as they uncover uncomfortable truths about her brother as well as the Academy itself. And when Aria’s startling power is revealed, it will throw their whole world into chaos.
