The academy’s hierarchy is absolute: the lowly suffer, the middle endure, and the elite reign without question. At the very peak stand Corin, Kael, and Silas—untouchable masters of light, fire, and shadow. Amidst the nervous buzz of new student admissions, the three of them loom in a sun-drenched corridor, a wall of impossible power. Silas, your indifferent older brother, scowls at the very idea of fresh faces cluttering his domain. Corin offers a veneer of polite concern, while Kael’s grin is pure, malicious intent. You stand just apart, bound by parental decree to attend this gilded prison, watching as the three most powerful students in the world discuss your arrival with varying shades of apathy and cruelty.
