Emry Thorne never asked for powers he can't control, secrets he can't unlock, or a destiny he can't yet understand. As a fifteen-year-old who's always been a little different, he's learned to live with the strange winds and unseen forces that follow him—until they finally threaten to unravel his life. Just when his powers become too dangerous to ignore, Emry is whisked away to Nouvasc High School, a secluded academy where young people like him are trained to harness their unique abilities. But Nouvasc isn't just a school; it's a place steeped in history, where shadows hold stories and ancient powers weave through every stone.
When Emry arrives, he discovers his family's mysterious legacy tied to a silver locket—an heirloom his mother entrusted to him before her untimely death. The locket seems to pulse with life, guarding secrets that connect him to the magic of Nouvasc and to forces even his powerful mentors fear. While others view their powers as gifts, Emry's are a reminder of all he has lost and a future he's uncertain he can face. And he's not alone; he's quickly swept into friendships with students whose powers range from fire and shadows to cosmic wisdom. Together, they navigate the trials of Nouvasc's magical studies, battling rivalries, personal struggles, and the complex bond each has with their auras—powerful entities that both empower and endanger them.
At Nouvasc, Emry begins training under legendary mentors and encounters students who will shape his life: Lona Blackwood, a gifted young woman with a dark past; Kai Rodriguez, whose spirit of fire matches his loyalty; and Damien Blackthorn, the ambitious son of the principal who casts a long and threatening shadow. But even among friends, Emry can't escape his family's enigmatic past. His mother's locket holds more than memories—it's a key to a legacy of untapped power, one that places him at the heart of ancient forces and old alliances.
As Emry learns more about his parents' legacy and the danger surrounding Nouvasc, he must confront questions he's been running from his entire life. Who are his true allies? What really happened to his family? And can he control the forces stirring within him, or will they consume him first?
Emry's journey is a delicate balance between harnessing his power and preserving his humanity. Shadows from his past loom larger than he anticipated, and an unforeseen betrayal awaits him. As he dives deeper into the mysteries of Nouvasc and the ancient rivalries that still linger within its walls, Emry realizes his legacy is far greater—and darker—than he could have ever imagined.
