At an elite fantasy boarding academy, seventeen-year-old warriors are divided into two rival Orders: the Solari and the Noctis. Y/N and her greatest enemy—the top fighter of the opposing Order—compete in everything and can’t stand each other. When a mixed group is sent on a deadly month-long survival mission through a monster-filled wilderness, they’re forced to work together while fighting over leadership. As injuries, danger, and impossible choices push them closer, their bitter rivalry slowly turns into undeniable attraction—but neither is willing to admit it.
