Prophecies, Illusions, and… a Thorned Spiral?

The dawn has come to Aprella… but light always casts shadows. After breaking centuries of silence, Rhyden—the first dragon to walk among true beings in a hundred years—has united elves, fairies, merfolk, and kitsune under a fragile Accord. The wards sing again, the Veil holds steady, and for the first time, the academy knows peace. But peace is an illusion. Whispers of the Farros—the oath-breakers who twisted magic itself—linger beneath the surface. As the wards flicker and illusions turn real, Rhyden and his friends uncover a chilling truth: the corruption never left. It was waiting. When a stolen relic resurfaces and the shadows of the past claw their way into the present, the Suite must descend into the heart of Aprella's catacombs to face the thorn-spiral curse threatening to unravel every realm. Alliances will strain, loyalties will fracture, and prophecy will take shape: When flame learns the shape of water, the thorn will break. But the Farros have rewritten fate—and not every truth should come to light. Perfect for fans of magical academies, elemental powers, and sweeping fantasy alliances, Prophecies, Illusions, and… a Thorned Spiral? continues the ranobe-inspired Keeper of Dragons: Aprella Academy saga, where unity is tested, truth burns, and even dawn can bleed red.
