In a world ruled by the Dragon Empire and Phoenix Clan, Hanara is born with a rare, dangerous dual aura—one that can heal… or destroy.
After her mother’s murder and her clan’s annihilation, Hanara hides in the mountains with her baby brother and loyal phoenixes. When Dragon knights strike, she unleashes her devastating Fireborne Wrath, forcing a trusted ally to whisk her away.
Years later, trained in secret, Hanara disguises herself and infiltrates the Dragon Empire to rescue her brother. But the closer she gets, the more she realizes that staying hidden might be the only way to protect him… especially with the Ice Prince growing suspicious.
To keep her brother safe, Hanara must remain hidden. Among dragons. And beside a prince who may be her greatest threat—or her only ally.

Akio was just a kid when the sky tore open and stole everything from him. Now, years later, the world praises the gates for their "miracles", but behind those glowing doors are bloodthirsty monsters, corrupted leaders, and secrets no one dares to speak aloud.
When Akio discovers a gate and the truth behind his mother's death, he's forced into a fight far bigger than himself. Alongside a sarcastic clone wielder, a time bending fighter, and a mind hacker Akio sets out to unravel the gates' true purpose.
But as past trauma claws its way into the present, and enemies blur the line between friend and monster, Akio will have to face one impossible question:
What do you do when saving the world means destroying the peace it was built on?
