As more secrets come to light, and my sister and I work harder than ever before to reach our potential and claim our birthright, the end is finally drawing closer. The curse chases on our heels as time rushes by, and the blood-drenched destiny of the man I love looms ever closer just like the monster who stole our throne. We must prepare for the final battle, but three things are clear now—the cards have already been dealt, blood will spill for a new future to rise, and the stars themselves can’t help us.

Bloody, lost, broken. We live to fight another day. But with so much stolen from us, can the fates ever twist in our favour again? My sister and I have been torn apart by shadows and despair, and now we each stand alone.

We are all and nothing now, our fate weighed on the scales of the stars and counterbalanced by the forces that oppose us. The shadow of the false king spreads as thick as oil across the kingdom we were born to rule, and none remain untouched by its darkness. Our crowns lay within reach if only we can claim them. All souls are at risk now and when the final battle dawns, a new regime will rise.

Fate has torn us apart, and, sometimes, I believe the stars have given up on us altogether. Without my sister, the world seems darker than ever before, and the shadows loom thicker, rising up to answer the call of the Shadow Princess, and changing the face of Solaria for good. I’m afraid we’re almost out of time. Hope is a dangerous thing. It’s the key to us fighting on. But it could be what destroys us in the end. One thing is for certain, I won’t stop until I have been reunited with my other half, and together we will fight to take our crowns. A war is coming.

The Vega twins are alive. Those five words circle in my mind like an oncoming storm. They change everything about the future we thought had been set in stone. They challenge everything we were raised to be and the stability of the entire kingdom. They’re coming to our academy looking for the life that was stolen from them, but we can’t let them take it back. So much hangs in the balance and we can’t risk the arrival of two naïve princesses destroying everything we worked so hard for. I have stood in the shadow of Lionel Acrux for far too long already.

The Great Hunt begins once every fifty years and only the Champions willing to face death to shatter the curse dare to enter. The Champions…and me. I’m no warrior, no swordsmith, and certainly no Fae, but the forest is my only hope. To enter those trees is to walk willingly to my demise. But I need the boon the forest will grant the winner and I’m willing to risk it all for a chance at claiming it. I just never expected to face him beneath those trees.

Dark magic is forbidden at Zodiac Academy. That’s why I hide it so well. But now, I’m supposed to mentor Darius Acrux, the son of the most ruthless dragon shifter in Solaria. If he’s caught using blood magic, he’ll lose his claim to the throne. The problem is? Our families are up to something, and we’re determined to find out what. No matter what dark power we must turn to....

I’m a wielder of hearts and summoner of corruption. Heir to nothing and born to a fool in the wrong damn month. But I’m also one of only two Fae in this divided land of hellions who might be starting to see through the lies we’ve swallowed for so long. In the year we turn twenty-one, conscripts from across the warring nations of air, fire, earth and water are sent to Never Keep – the only place in our besieged continent where our magic can be Awakened. But something is wrong inside Never Keep. Something which might extend far beyond the reaches of this desolate fortress.

I once thought one of my ruthless boys could be the killer I’m hunting. They’re all dark, deadly, and more than capable of brutality. But now, I’m held by the King I’ve been stalking in the shadows, and when I unmask him, he’ll realize he made a huge mistake in taking my brother from this world.

Just as we were finding a way to get past our difficulties, the stars have torn us apart. Can I fight against the will of the heavens, or does fate have something unforeseen in store for me now? While we're reeling from the wheel of fate and trying to find a way to move on with our lives, our enemies are only growing more powerful. Felix Oscura is haunting Alestria with his bloodthirsty need to steal the power of the clan he was never destined to rule over. And, the illusive King is growing closer to their goal of taking control of the entire city and maybe even beyond.

We were torn from life before our time, a Savage King, his queen, a betrayed son, a wronged brother, a scorned wife and so many more. We watch those we left behind as they struggle against the grip of the stars, the answers to so many of their questions within our grasp and yet out of their reach.

I’m a Gemini. Impulsive. Curious. Headstrong. A twin. Heir to a throne I know nothing about. And it turns out, I’m Fae. But of course, there’s a catch - all I have to do to claim my birthright is prove that I’m the most powerful supernatural in the whole of Solaria. And sure, technically that’s true, as I’m the daughter of the Savage King. But the bit they didn’t put in the brochure was that every single Fae in this Kingdom would claim my throne if they could.

The shadows are in my blood. I can feel them crawling through me, slithering under my skin and taking me hostage. But the darkness within me, isn't nearly as bad as the darkness that lives around me. The four heirs will stop at nothing to destroy the lives of me and my sister. But they haven't figured out yet, we're the strongest creatures they've ever known...

Dieses Buch ist all jenen gewidmet, die jenseits des Schleiers stets beobachtend darauf warten, dass sich die Lebenden ihnen anschließen. Sowie all jenen, die sie zurückgelassen haben. Möget ihr mutig genug sein, den Sehnsüchten eures Herzens zu folgen, zu weit entfernten Orten zu reisen, Abenteuer im Unbekannten zu erleben, Wagnisse einzugehen und groß zu träumen. Größer als der Mond selbst. Seid mutig, seid hoffnungsvoll, seid ihr selbst. Und bereitet ihnen die Show ihres Lebens.

Alle Sterne müssen fallen. Blutend, verloren, gebrochen–aber wir haben überlebt. Und wir werden weiterkämpfen. Doch kann sich das Schicksal jemals wieder zu unseren Gunsten wenden, nachdem uns so viel genommen wurde? Meine Schwester und ich wurden von Schatten und Verzweiflung auseinandergerissen, und jetzt kämpfen wir beide allein. Unser Kummer ist wie ein Netz, das uns eng umschließt, und ich fürchte, dass unsere Feinde bald kommen werden, um sich an unseren Seelen zu laben.

Die Winde des Schicksals drehen sich. Und es scheint, als würden sie sich endlich zu unseren Gunsten bewegen. Auf der Flucht und aus der Gesellschaft ausgestoßen, waren wir gezwungen, uns vor dem Verrückten zu verstecken, der unseren Thron gestohlen hat. Aber es kommen immer mehr Geheimnisse ans Licht, und meine Schwester und ich arbeiten härter als je zuvor daran, unser Potenzial auszuschöpfen und unser Geburtsrecht einzufordern. Das Ende rückt näher.

Das Schicksal hat uns auseinandergerissen. Ohne meine Schwester fühlt sich die Welt dunkler an als je zuvor. Die Schatten werden immer dichter; sie erheben sich, um dem Ruf der Schattenprinzessin zu folgen und Solaria für immer zu verändern. Jetzt, da Lionel Acrux die erforderliche Stärke besitzt, um den Thron zu besteigen, bin ich mir nicht sicher, wie viel Zeit uns noch bleibt, um ihn aufzuhalten.

Diese Worte geistern wie ein aufziehender Sturm durch meinen Kopf. Sie stellen das infrage, was wir für die Zukunft als unumstößlich gehalten haben, und erschüttern alles, worauf wir nach wie vor hinarbeiten – genau wie die Stabilität des gesamten Königreichs. Sie kommen an unsere Academy, um nach dem Leben zu suchen, das ihnen genommen wurde. Aber wir können nicht zulassen, dass sie es sich zurückholen. Es steht so viel auf dem Spiel. Wir können nicht riskieren, dass zwei naive Prinzessinnen alles zerstören, wofür wir so hart gekämpft haben.

Die Schatten sind in meinem Blut. Ich kann spüren, wie sie durch mich kriechen, sich unter meiner Haut winden und mich zu ihrer Geisel machen. Aber die Dunkelheit in mir ist nicht annähernd so schlimm wie die Dunkelheit, die um mich herum herrscht. Die vier Celestia-Erben werden vor nichts Halt machen, um das Leben meiner Schwester und mir zu zerstören. Aber sie haben noch nicht begriffen, dass wir die stärksten Wesen sind, die sie je kennengelernt haben.
