In the realm of Aetherielle, magic is everything.
It flows through the sky, binds the world together, and lives within every soul. But when the Nightfallen curse nearly destroyed the balance of magic, everything changed.
Now, the academy has reopened-and the world is trying to move forward.
But Aur a Starcrest knows the truth.
Something isn't right.
Magic is shifting. Power is responding. And when a dark force begins to emerge-one that doesn't spread, but searches-it becomes clear this is no ordinary curse.
It's something evolving.
Something aware.
And somehow... it's connected to her.
As fear spreads across the academy and beyond, Aur a must learn to control a power that grows stronger-and more unpredictable-by the day.
Because the darkness isn't trying to destroy her.
It's trying to reach her.
And if she is the key...
What is waiting to be unlocked?
