Some legacies are forged in darkness, but only revealed in the light.

Welcome to the Fae Academy of Light and Shadows, where glowing halls hide ancient secrets, rivalries burn between light and dark Fae, and humans chosen by fate are thrust into a world they were never meant to see.

For centuries, the Fae—descendants of a dying world orbiting three suns—have lived among us, veiled by magic. Powered by sunlight, fueled by kinetic energy, and weakened only by relics of their lost home, they rule from courts divided by light and shadow. At the heart of their survival lies the Academy: a place where humans train beside the immortal, learning to become warriors, scholars, and guardians. Few are chosen. Even fewer survive.

When Gwen Kelly is invited to attend, she steps into a life she never dreamed possible—rainbow-lit races, relic hunts through treacherous ruins, and friendships forged in danger. But with every year, the stakes rise. The competitions between courts turn deadly. The secrets of her bloodline refuse to stay hidden. And one brooding dark Fae prince challenges everything she thought she knew about destiny—and forbidden desire.

From magical trials and hidden relics to dangerous betrayals and a slow-burn romance that ignites into fire, The Trials of Dawn and Dusk is a sweeping saga of identity, adventure, and love against all odds.

Perfect for fans of Harry Potter’s magical wonder, Keeper of the Lost Cities’ friendships and intrigue, and Fourth Wing’s dangerous romance, this 16-book epic takes readers from the wonder of first-year academy halls to the deadly wars for thrones and the future of two worlds.
