Ignis & Obsidian

Synopsis

Esperanza “Essa” Aquila is a first-year student at Zodiac Academy, a place where elemental magic, ancient prophecies, and simmering rivalries collide. As an Aries with a rare Mutatio Order and a primary affinity for fire, Essa carries the weight of her family’s shadowed past. The Aquilas, an old Solarian bloodline, walk a precarious line between respectability and the dark dealings of the Obsidian Vein, a connection that finances Essa’s education and binds her to a dangerous underworld. Haunted by the disappearance of her older brother and fiercely protective of her idealistic younger sister, Essa navigates the treacherous halls of Zodiac Academy, determined to remain unnoticed by the powerful Celestial Heirs. Her carefully constructed calm exterior hides a fiery temper and a cynical romantic heart, secretly yearning for the untouchable Caleb Altair. However, Essa knows the prophecy: Caleb belongs to Tory Vega, and his heart will eventually turn to Seth Capella. As the academy’s future begins to twist and diverge from the script Essa knows by heart, she finds herself entangled in a dangerous game of secrets, drawn to forbidden connections, and facing a destiny far more complex than she ever imagined. With her family’s secrets threatening to unravel and a hidden year of survival ahead, Essa must learn to wield her own power before the Obsidian Vein consumes her entirely.
