Ruel Valore was never meant to survive.

Not the creature that attacked him, not the powers inside him, and definitely not Aetheria War Academy—an elite training ground for people gifted with psionic abilities which was rebuilt atop the ashes of its own dark past.


Forty years ago when the three kingdoms of Kogarah united, the king's conceded that all psionics were to be executed. They invaded Aetheria War Academy and murdered every last psionic in cold blood. It was a massacre. A genocide. Because to be a psionic was to be guilty, whether or not they had ever used their powers for good or evil, and to be guilty, was punishable by death.

But Ruel is still breathing, if only barely.

Now conscripted into Aetheria after it was rebuilt, he finds himself in a world full of powerful students and professors, brutal training, and secrets buried so deep they have begun to rot.

With his best friend, Alora, by his side, and his powers barely controlled, he is placed into the Infantry Quadrant, where power is everything, and being weak is a death sentence.

Then, there is Kaidian Lostone, a blatantly honest, infuriatingly attractive, second year student. Ruel doesn't trust him and Alora despises him. But, Ruel can't seem to stay away... and neither can Kaidian.

As students and professors disappear from the academy, and rumours of a secret society grow louder, Ruel is forced to confront two truths far more dangerous than he is ready for.

There is something inside of him that wants out.
And there is someone, or something, coming for it.



Set in a world of dark academia, telekinesis, and off-the-charts MLM romance, book one of this stunning fantasy duology will leave readers burning for more.
