For eight hundred years, the kingdom of Elarion has honored one royal family and condemned another. Prince Rhydian Valerion was born to inherit the crown, while Yvaine Noctis was raised believing his ancestors stole it from hers. At Astralis Academy of Magic, where dragons soar, ancient creatures guard forgotten secrets, and powerful mages are forged, their rivalry becomes legendary. But as hidden truths emerge from the shadows, hatred gives way to an impossible love that threatens the foundations of the kingdom. When the legendary Shadow Throne awakens and chooses Yvaine before the eyes of the entire realm, centuries of carefully crafted history begin to crumble. With an immortal enemy manipulating events from the darkness, Rhydian and Yvaine must decide whether to cling to the past—or unite light and shadow to save the future. In a world where magic remembers every lie, the greatest battle is not for the throne itself, but for the truth buried beneath it.
