Lucian “Luca” Varela, a boy born into a world of expectations. His parents, both powerful and successful demanded perfection, but Luca failed at everything that mattered to them. Math. Science. Sports. Respectability. His only gift was one they refused to acknowledge: Art. In their eyes, drawing was a distraction. A failure. A waste of time. When Luca’s failing grades become a family embarrassment, his parents turn their backs on him, treating him as if he no longer exists. Mocked at school, invisible at home and drowning in self-doubt, Luca makes a devastating choice when he destroys his own art. If his talent means nothing to them, maybe it’s better to let it die. But one night, lost in the streets of Milan, Luca stumbles upon a mysterious street artist transforming a dull alley into something breathtaking. For the first time, someone sees him not as a failure but as an artist. Handed a can of scarlet-red spray paint, Luca makes a single stroke that reignites the fire inside him. What starts as a secret escape soon becomes something bigger. His art begins appearing all over the city, bold and impossible to ignore. But as his reputation grows, so do the risks. Street art is illegal, his past won’t stay buried and not everyone wants him to succeed. With the world against him, Luca must decide: Will he stay in the shadows forever? Or will he sign his name on the world in scarlet ink?

She was born different. He was labeled evil and cold. But they weren’t the monsters the world believed them to be. Rose was feared from the moment she took her first breath—an outcast marked by her strange and unnatural aura. Hated, hunted, and shunned, she grew up in the shadows, carrying the weight of a destiny she didn’t understand. She was special, too special, the one ordained to bring chaos to Heaven, Earth, and Hell alike—the true god the worlds refused to accept. Lucifer was the lord of Hell, feared and despised by all, a being defined by darkness and cruelty. Yet, even he wasn’t immune to curiosity. The moment he saw Rose, something shifted—a fascination he couldn’t ignore. What began as mere intrigue turned into something far more dangerous: love. But love between the devil and a girl destined for destruction was never meant to be simple. Heaven’s forces, terrified of Rose’s power, would stop at nothing to destroy her, and Hell itself began to tremble under the weight of her growing strength. As the boundaries between worlds crumble and the lines between savior and destroyer blur, Rose and Lucifer must face a truth neither of them can escape. She was born different. He was labeled evil. Together, they are unstoppable.

A special selection is held to choose the next dragon queen from among the finest daughters of the founding magical nobilities. Thirteen girls, one from each of the foundational families, are chosen to vie for the crown and become the next dragon queen—and the hand of the enigmatic Crown Prince Cassian, the best dragon rider in the seven kingdoms and rider of the ancient, powerful black dragon Taheer. Among them is Lira, the thirteenth girl, a quiet but captivating young woman who seems to have come from nowhere. Unbeknownst to the court, Lira is no noble; she has no powers. She is an impostor. She did not come from a founding family. Driven by revenge, she has infiltrated the selection to destroy the monarchy that unjustly executed her father, a former advisor accused of treason. Lira expects to despise the prince, to see him as a reflection of the corrupt crown. Instead, she immediately bonds with his dragon Taheer and finds Cassian to be kind, intelligent, and burdened by the weight of a kingdom's expectations. He, in turn, is drawn to her fiery spirit and quiet resolve, a stark contrast to the polished perfection of the other contenders.
