I thought I was just a normal girl living a normal life. Until the day my mother dies and everything changes. My normal shifts, and nothing makes sense anymore.Suddenly I’m seeing this glowing light in everything around me. I can’t explain it. It’s just…there. But when a dog made of darkness chases me, I somehow end up in a different world. A world of magic.Now I need to learn how to survive in this world, how to use my light to protect myself and those around me. But when more creatures made of darkness start appearing, I’m caught in the middle of a war that has been raging within the realm for decades. Mysterious forces are tearing this world apart, and no matter how hard I try to convince myself that this is not my fight…I just can’t walk away.

Kira thought life at the temple learning Light magic was as normal as it ever could be. Until the Storm King arrives for the spring festival to make peace between Light and Shadow magic. But not everyone in the Realm of Camellia is ready for peace. When knights and mages start disappearing from the festival, Kira can’t trust anyone. Except the one person she knows is innocent. The Storm King. As more people closer to Kira are taken, she must fight to help her friends escape from a sinister plot—but a secret of her own will rock the Realm once more, a secret she must unlock to save the others… But can she save herself?

To fulfill her bargain with the Storm King, Kira is finally going to go train at the Spire to learn more about her Shadow magic. There’s just one problem: her Shadow magic doesn’t work anymore. Something inside her soul is broken, and she must find a way to fix it, or risk losing her Light magic, too. As she struggles to cope with her inner turmoil, another battle is brewing outside the walls of the Spire when raiders descend on the realm. And Kira’s pretty sure they’re there because of her. With her magic slipping and her newly discovered family’s legacy at stake, Kira searches for answers. And a discovery about the past might hold some answers about the elusive Lord of Between… and an unpleasant connection with her broken soul.
