In Seabrook, lifelong rivals Diego Rivera and Y/N have clashed since childhood, though no one remembers exactly why it started. He’s the town’s carefree, popular surfer and lifeguard; she’s a responsible, driven student who balances school, volunteering, and work. Despite their constant arguments and very different personalities, their lives are deeply intertwined through family, friends, and shared places around town. As they approach junior year, their rivalry begins to blur into something more complicated, hinting that their connection may be stronger than either of them wants to admit.
At the School of Shapeshifters, students from Heaven, Earth, and Hell Towers train to control their abilities while living among creatures like dragons, fairies, sirens, and werewolves. Kyros, a powerful dragon shifter and top duelist from Hell Tower, is known for being calm, stoic, and feared. He rarely notices anyone—until a new Celestial Serpent arrives. Celestials, beings tied to starlight, are ancient enemies of dragons, yet Kyros finds himself strangely distracted by you, sensing a familiarity he can’t explain. Meanwhile, his chaotic group of friends fuels constant drama, and your best friend Ana, a fairy with illusion magic, becomes entangled in both the rising tension between you and Kyros and her own rivalry with Jake. As old rivalries resurface, the academy becomes a place where fire and starlight begin to dangerously overlap.
