By: Natasha Pierce When given the chance, do you trust fate? Or only yourself? When I was fourteen, my whole existence was shredded, setting me on a path to a new future... if I could survive my training. Four years later, my powers are under control, and I am ready to return to my life on Naesala. However, as I enter Terranea Academy with my best friend in tow, I find life is very different from when I left. The unexpected ire of a jealous woman surrounds me thanks to the unwanted attention of three males at the academy: my long-lost dragon crush, the mysterious loner mage, and my irresistible incubus stepbrother. I am determined to overcome and survive, but the shell I've built for myself doesn't seem as tough as it once did. As the bullying worsens, I find myself in increasingly dire situations, and being on constant alert throws me into a life of living hell I long to escape. I do my best to ignore them and deflect their attacks, but I have come to realize one thing: I can't rely on anyone else. What happens when I find myself truly alone? Will the stars guide me home, or will I fall at their feet, defeat staining my worn-down soul?
