Shadows twist around the ancient walls of Shadowcarve Academy—part fortress, part labyrinth of secrets. Last year, I barely survived its brutal trials, but I left with more than three mates, bound to me in a once-in-a-lifetime connection that feels ripped from a fairy tale. And then there’s the legendary red egg—coveted by countless students for centuries—and somehow it chose me.But survival here always comes at a price... moreShadows twist around the ancient walls of Shadowcarve Academy—part fortress, part labyrinth of secrets.

Survival isn't a subject you can study—it's one you have to live."Year three at Dragonis Academy was supposed to be manageable. I'd survived two years of brutal competition, backstabbing classmates, and professors who'd rather see me dead than graduate.I even have Klauth by my side now—who just happens to be an ancient dragon king. The universe has a sick sense of humor when it comes to my life.The black cursed egg I've been carrying since last semester pulses with dark energy... moreSurvival isn't a subject you can study—it's one you have to live."Year three at Dragonis Academy was supposed to be manageable.

The universe has a sick sense of humor when it comes to my life.The black cursed egg I've been carrying since last semester pulses with dark energy. Thauglor teaches me everything he can while he's imprisoned. Meanwhile, my father's agents lurk in every shadow, and now the headmaster himself appears to be playing a deadlier game than I realized.Two gauntlets stand between me and survival this year. The tri-yearly purge is approaching—a sanctioned bloodbath where the student body "weeds out the weak." Then there are the war games, where failure means more than just academic probation.Oh, and did I mention I'm apparently supposed to become Klauth's queen now? For my "protection," of course. Because nothing says safe, like painting an even bigger target on my back.Between uncovering a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of the academy, protecting a cursed egg, and trying not to die on a daily basis. This year is going to be my breaking point... or my crowning moment."They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. At Dragonis Academy, what doesn't kill you just tries harder tomorrow."Trial of the Cursed Egg - Year OneGuardian of the Cursed Egg - Year TwoKlauth - History of the Red Cursed EggProgeny of the Cursed Egg - Year 3Thauglor - History of the Black Cursed EggQueen of the Cursed Egg - Year 4 less

The History of the Black Cursed EggOne moment I'm fighting alongside my best friend to avenge the slaughter of his progeny—the next, I'm entombed within an eternal prison.Years dissolve like sand through my claws, punctuated only by fleeting moments of consciousness. I hatched once for a male whose bloodlust matched my own burning rage. It didn't end well. Little did I know that killing the very person who freed me would seal my fate once more... moreThe History of the Black Cursed EggOne moment I'm fighting alongside my best friend to avenge the slaughter of his progeny—the next, I'm entombed within an eternal prison.Years dissolve like sand through my claws, punctuated only by fleeting moments of consciousness. I hatched once for a male whose bloodlust matched my own burning rage. It didn't end well. Little did I know that killing the very person who freed me would seal my fate once more.I have no concept of how long I slumbered in that suffocating darkness until her voice pierced the void—a siren's song that ignited something primal within me. My mate. She was calling, so achingly close I could taste her essence on the stale air. When she turned away, choosing another, I forced myself back into the numbing embrace of sleep.But fate is a cruel mistress.I don't know how many centuries passed before I heard her again—that haunting melody that is both salvation and torment. This time, she doesn't abandon me. This time, she takes me with her into the unknown.Now, trapped within this cursed shell, I can only pray that her touch will be enough to shatter these ancient bonds. Because when I finally break free, the world will remember why they feared what slumbers within the Black Cursed Egg.Some prisons are meant to contain monsters.Others are meant to forge them. less

When they said only the strong would survive, they weren't joking.Between deadly gauntlets, cutthroat classmates, and my father's relentless attempts to transform me into a dracolich, death has become my closest companion. As the sole surviving fourth year at Shadowcarve Academy, I've evolved from student to reluctant mentor for my younger mates. The school has little left to teach me that my father didn't already beat into my bones... moreWhen they said only the strong would survive, they weren't joking.Between deadly gauntlets, cutthroat classmates, and my father's relentless attempts to transform me into a dracolich, death has become my closest companion. As the sole surviving fourth year at Shadowcarve Academy, I've evolved from student to reluctant mentor for my younger mates. The school has little left to teach me that my father didn't already beat into my bones.Did I mention that Thauglor has hatched, and Abraxis is slowly becoming his terrifying mini-me? It's equal parts hilarious and horrifying. My nest remains dangerously unbalanced—with three dominant drakes, one temperamental basilisk, and my other volatile mates, a bloodbath could erupt at any moment.We're essentially fighting a war on three fronts. My father and his minions relentlessly test our defenses. The mages systematically hunt dragons before they can ascend to wyrm status. Worst of all, our elders have redacted so much history that truth has become indistinguishable from lies. The differences between the original texts I discovered in my father's study and the sanitized academy versions are staggering.My mates and I survey the battlefield before us and forge plans to protect our progeny and our flight. For all the unspeakable evils my father forced me to endure, he succeeded in creating something unexpected—a weapon capable of defending not only our continent, but challenging even him.It's time to embrace what I've become.Trial of the Cursed Egg - Year OneGuardian of the Cursed Egg - Year TwoKlauth - History of the Red Cursed EggProgeny of the Cursed Egg - Year ThreeThauglor - History of the Black Cursed EggQueen of the Cursed Egg - Year Four less
