Bonds of Shadow and Starlight

By William Liu

Lyra Nightshade, a half-human, half-Fae descendant of the original Shadow Weavers, arrives at the Umbral Academy-a place where magic comes at the highest price and only the strongest survive. With the Shadow Trials looming, she must navigate deadly labyrinths, political intrigue, and ancient rivalries, all while uncovering the hidden truths of her bloodline.

Joined by fellow candidates, Lyra faces the ultimate challenge: harness her dormant power, outwit treacherous allies, and prevent the collapse of the barriers that protect multiple realms. But the deeper she ventures into the Academy's secrets, the more she realizes that the most dangerous bonds are forged in shadow-and some connections can never be broken.
