Arcturus, Prince of Solaris, is a talented Lightweaver, while Vesper, the Prince of Umbrium, is a cunning and powerful Shadowmancer. In a world defined by the elements, their realms are inextricably tied to the power of the Nexus - the source of all magic and the key to unlocking the full potential of each element. As the new school year begins at the prestigious Nexus Academy, royals and dignitaries from every realm gather to master their respective element and build alliances with the future leaders of the other realms. But as Arcturus and Vesper navigate the tense politics of their worlds and try to resist their growing attraction to each other, they begin to sense that something is wrong with the Nexus. The closer they get to its centre, the more volatile the magic becomes, and ancient, long-dormant forces seem to be stirring. As they investigate the growing threat to the Nexus, Arcturus and Vesper must confront the dangerous and unpredictable nature of their respective elements. And when the ancient evil behind the Nexus's troubles is revealed, they realize that they will have to work together to defend the source of all magic and protect their realms from destruction.
