Magic chooses everyone.
Everyone... except Valentina Starling.
At Arcana Academy, power is everything. Without magic, Valentina has spent her life being mocked, underestimated, and forgotten. The only thing more dangerous than being powerless is drawing the attention of the academy’s most feared student.
Valerius Draven is ruthless, untouchable, and destined for greatness. He should hate everything Valentina represents. She should stay as far away from him as possible.
Instead, fate keeps throwing them together.
With every stolen glance, every heated argument, and every moment they’re forced to stand side by side, the line between hatred and something far more dangerous begins to blur.
But as ancient secrets awaken and a forgotten darkness threatens the academy, Valentina realizes she’s at the center of a mystery that could change everything.
Some destinies are written in magic.
Others are written in fire.
