No sanctuary. No allies. No turning back.
The Academy they knew no longer exists, and Kadyia Aranel finds herself on the run from the very people she once trusted. Branded as a dangerous fugitive alongside her closest friends, Kadyia has watched the life she knew collapse around her. Everything that once offered safety, purpose, and belonging is gone, leaving them with only one choice: run.
Their only hope lies half a Realm away-a distant refuge that may offer the answers and protection they desperately need. But reaching it means surviving a journey through lands that are becoming more dangerous by the day. With enemies searching for them and their dragons making them impossible to travel unnoticed, every mile brings new risks. Hiding is becoming harder. Rest is dangerous. And nowhere can truly be considered safe.
As they flee, something far more sinister begins spreading across the Realm.
A dark, corrupting malice is infecting the land, twisting everything Kadyia once knew and threatening to drag the Realm back into a past everyone believed had been left behind. Familiar places no longer feel familiar. Old certainties begin to unravel, and fear spreads nearly as quickly as the darkness itself.
With paranoia rising within their small circle and the Realm crumbling around them, Kadyia and her friends can afford few mistakes. Trust outside their group has become a luxury-and perhaps a deadly one. Their enemies could be anywhere, hiding behind familiar faces, old loyalties, and promises of help. Even those once considered friends may have secrets of their own.
Yet the greatest danger may not come from those hunting them.
As the darkness closes in, Kadyia is forced to confront questions she cannot outrun. How far will she go to protect the people she loves? What happens when survival demands choices she never imagined having to make? And when everything she believed about her world begins to fracture, how can she know which truths are still worth holding on to?
Kadyia and her friends must find a way through the encroaching chaos before it consumes everything in its path. They don't know what is causing the corruption. They don't know who they can trust beyond one another. And they have no idea how to stop what is coming.
But survival means fighting anyway.
When everything Kadyia knows is torn away, survival means trusting her friends, her dragon, and herself. Packed with danger, betrayal, dark magic, and a Realm descending into chaos, this gripping fantasy adventure will keep you turning pages to discover who can be trusted-and who will survive.Also in
