A Kingdom of Lies and Starlight: The Rift Chronicles: Volume 1

RULE NUMBER ONE: DON'T DIE.Elara Vance was nobody. Just a girl scraping by in the Mundane Zone, wiping tables and dreaming of a way out.That changed the night a monster smashed through the window of her diner-and she vaporized it with a power she wasn't supposed to have.Dragged in chains to Riftbound Academy, Elara is thrown into a world of beautiful, deadly elites who control the elements. To them, she is a glitch. A freak. A defect that needs to be erased.To survive, she must pass the Gauntlet: a brutal series of trials designed to weed out the weak. But Elara isn't just weak; she is dangerous. The magic in her veins is the Void-a forbidden power that consumes everything it touches.Her only hope of survival lies in the hands of Prince Kaelen, the Academy's most feared executioner. He is cold, arrogant, and devastatingly attractive. He is also the one man ordered to kill her if she loses control.But as the trials begin and the dead start to rise from the forest, Elara realizes that the Academy isn't just a school. It's a slaughterhouse. And she is the sacrifice.In a kingdom built on lies, the only way to win is to burn it all down.Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, Fourth Wing, and A Court of Thorns and Roses.
