Regina Murghan had always been treated like an anomaly among the witches. Compared to others, she had insignificant powers. On top of that, no one had any idea who her parents were. She had been abandoned on the doorsteps of Vivian, her loving guardian. All these made her subject to criticism for years until she left Witches Academy in Coven Community, where she stayed with Vivian, and transferred to Neutral Academy, a school for the three supernatural species that existed in Mistworld; Werewolves, Vampires, and Witches. Regina finally settled into a life of peace and meeting friends who genuinely cared about her, but unfortunately, things began to go awry when news of people being brutally killed began spreading. Not only that, strange things started happening to her after her sixteenth birthday, and secrets about her began unraveling. To top it all, two deliciously gorgeous alphas were fighting over her for the first time ever. But there was only one literally made for her. In order to protect those she had grown to love, MistWorld, and the human world above them, Regina had a lot of work cut out for her. Now, the question is, with her seeming lack of power, will she be able to overcome the monster from her past, whose motive was to bring the end of everything she knew and loved? Or she would fail, dooming her world, her loved ones and the human world?

Lucas Bennett is perfection. He is silent, elegant and untouchable. The world thinks he’s the most beloved person at Adrian Chase’s side: the CEO’s obsession, his treasure, his pride and his everything. Nevertheless, love doesn’t feel like this, not when your body isn’t yours and not when your past has been erased. Not when the man who touches you is the same one who destroyed your life. Adrian gave Lucas everything: beauty, luxury, and a place beside him, but Lucas wants only one thing in return: his life back. Therefore, he’s willing to burn Adrian’s world to ashes to get it.

Maya's life was already a mess. She had a crush on a guy who was in love with her best friend, a cat who ignored her, and a heart full of feelings no one asked for. So naturally, when a mysterious man in a weird alley offered her a spell to "ease the pain," she said yes. Oops. Now there's magic in her blood, monsters at her door, and four insanely hot strangers calling her their "fated mate." She's dragged to Blood Valley Academy, a floating school in another realm where magical creatures all learn to control their powers. But Maya? She doesn’t even know what she is, until she opens a portal, and accidentally fulfills the beginning of an ancient prophecy. Even worse? To survive, she has to bond (romantically, of course) with four powerful guys: An alpha who kisses like he hates her, a dream-demon who can't keep his hands to himself, a dragon shifter who keeps running away, and a vampire who knows what she is before she does. If Maya doesn't figure out which one of her so-called soulmates is a traitor... she might die a second, and final, death.
