His true nature is shrouded in mystery, and the secrets of his lineage have been buried for generations, leaving him to struggle against the darkness inside. Despite his extraordinary abilities, Aetheron has been forced to conceal his power for fear of drawing the attention of dangerous factions who would exploit him. But when rumors of a grand tournament surface, promising unimaginable power to its victor, Aetheron is faced with a choice—remain hidden in the shadows, or step into the light and confront the truth about his heritage. As the tournament progresses, Aetheron is forced to reveal his forbidden abilities when a life-or-death battle pushes him to the edge. With the world now aware of his Devourer ability, he quickly becomes a target for the most powerful individuals, each eager to control, kill, or use him for their own gain. As he absorbs abilities from his fallen opponents, Aetheron discovers that he can combine and grow them, crafting new and even more powerful abilities. But Aetheron is not alone in his struggle. He is surrounded by allies with forbidden abilities of their own, and together they form a fragile, yet powerful alliance. But betrayal lurks at every turn, and every new power Aetheron gains comes at a price. As factions close in and alliances shift, Aetheron must decide how far he is willing to go in order to master his powers, uncover the truth of his bloodline, and take control of his destiny.

In a world where everyone has something to hide, Aetheron will find that the greatest power of all is the one that can devour it all—and dominate the very forces that seek to control him.

At the Westlake University, Eleanore Salvacion and Santiago Alcaraz have spent years at war-academic titans, intellectual equals, and sworn enemies. They're obsessed with outscoring each other, pushing harder, being better. The rivalry is their everything-until it starts turning into something else. Because if they're supposed to hate each other, then why does Ellie notice the way Sanjo's jaw clenches when she beats him on an exam? Why does Sanjo feel a sick sort of thrill every time she glares at him in a lecture hall? And why does their rivalry feel less like competition and more like foreplay? First, it was grades.
