In this forbidden romance, Fire and Water aren't allowed to be together, and ruthless Elders control a secret society where dragons fly and elementals bond with magical creatures.

Fire and Water don't mix.

Over a century has passed since the Spirit tribe died out. A prophecy states that one of the four remaining elemental tribes shall rise to power, and Sophia is at the center of that war. Destined to be the one who leads the tribe into a new era, Sophia struggles to harness her Fire magic at a magical college where students bond with mythical creatures like dragons, unicorns, wolves and griffins. At Orenda Academy, students are thrown into a lethal tournament to prove who can withstand the greatest challenges the dangerous Elders have to offer, and Sophia is their greatest target.

Liam has lost everything. Struggling with a rare chronic illness no one can diagnose after the loss of his magical creature, Liam has been outcasted from the Water tribe for his past mistakes and is no longer considered fit to take on his father's role as chieftain. Sophia might be his way back to redemption... but he'll have to choose if she's the one he's going to betray, or protect.

Forced into the Elemental Cup as reluctant teammates, Liam and Sophia will have to work together in order to survive. But though their different tribes seek to keep them apart, Liam and Sophia find themselves falling in love, knowing that if their romance is discovered, it will ignite a rebellion within the tribe.
