My name is Luna, but I have no wolf. In Silver Crest Pack, the strongest pack in Nigeria, every werewolf gets their wolf at 16. I'm 19 and still wolfless — the pack's cleaner, the cursed girl whose wolf died before it was born. He is Alpha Kael. 23, ruthless, heartbreakingly handsome — and the first Alpha in 1,000 years who has never shifted, never howled. The elders call him the Cursed Alpha and plan to dethrone and kill him if he doesn't choose a powerful Luna tonight. Two cursed souls. Two people the Moon Goddess forgot. But for three years, whenever we pass each other, my chest burns like fire. And I thought I was sick — until he grabs my hand and whispers, _"Do you feel that burn too?"_ On the night he must choose another woman to save his life, Kael looks at me — the lowly cleaner — and says _"She's my Luna."_ Because last night, for the first time in his life, he heard a voice in his head. It said: _"She is not wolfless. She IS the wolf."_ And at that moment, I finally heard a howl inside me. But it wasn't a wolf. It was ME. *He can't howl. I have no wolf. Together, we are the end of the pack — or its new beginning.*

Elara Nightbane is the only monster in 300 years to reach 17 with no power. At Hollow Academy - a school for vampires, werewolves, sirens and void walkers - power is everything. Everyone awakened at 16. Elara's wrist is still blank. Bullied, called Hollow, tortured by the popular storm siren Lyra, she thinks she was born defective. She's wrong. She was cursed as a baby. Her powers are locked behind a Loveless Veil that can only be broken by true love. No training, no potion can save her - only someone who truly sees her. That someone is Silas Void - the most powerful and most feared boy in the Academy. A Void Walker who can erase anything with a thought, and has been alone his whole life because everyone is afraid of him. He is the only one who can see the silver cage around her heart. When he saves her from her bullies, their lonely worlds collide. And when she finally finds the courage to hug the boy no one dares to touch, her curse shatters - and a power thought extinct for 1000 years explodes out of her. Elara is not powerless. She is a Star Weaver - the first monster race, who weaves starlight into worlds. But her awakening shakes the entire monster world and wakes an ancient prophecy: A child of stars and void together will either save the monster world... or end it. *A story of bullying, curses, true love, and a girl who was told she was nothing until love showed her she was full of stars.* --- *LONG SYNOPSIS - for Stary synopsis box if they ask:* Hollow Academy is a gothic school hidden in Blackthorn mountains where only monsters are invited. Elara Nightbane, 17, is the only student in history with no mark on her wrist. While others control fire, ice, lightning and shadows, she has nothing. She is bullied daily and believes she is defective. Unknown to her, a rival clan cursed her as a baby with the Loveless Veil - sealing her immense powers until true love finds her. Silas Void is the Academy's strongest student - a rare Void Walker who can erase anything, cursed to be alone because everyone fears him. He notices Elara because unlike others, he can see the silver thread caging her soul. As they become friends, Elara discovers the truth about her curse. And when Silas risks his own dark power to protect her, she finally breaks - not from pain, but from love. Her Star Weaver powers, extinct for a millennium, awaken in a blast of starlight that clears the Academy's cursed sky for the first time in 300 years. Now Elara must learn to control a power that can create worlds, while her bond with Silas creates a new twilight power never seen before. But Lyra and the rival clans who cursed her are not done - and the Headmistress's prophecy says their love will decide the fate of all monsters.

My name is Kael Stone. I was 10 years old when they killed my family. They were not robbers. They were men in suits - the same men my father called his brothers. The Vipers - the most powerful crime cartel in the city. My father, Marcus Stone, was their most loyal soldier. He wanted to leave the life for me and my mother. For that, they burned our house while we were sleeping. My mother died in the fire. My father was shot 7 times. I survived because my mother hid me inside the water tank. For 15 years, I lived in the shadows. Homeless boy, street fighter, underground boxer, soldier, ghost. No one knew my real name. Now I am 25. I am back in Black City. The Vipers now own everything - police, politicians, clubs, ports. They have 5 leaders. My father's killers. I have a list. 5 names. I will not kill them fast. I will take everything they love, just like they took mine. Their money, their power, their empire. Then their lives. This is not a story about forgiveness. This is about revenge. I am Kael Stone. And I am the revenge they forgot.

My name is Isabella Kim. 21 years old, Westwood University, California. It was supposed to be a normal Monday morning lecture. Then the screaming started from the field outside. One bite. One virus from a lab leak. In 24 hours, our entire university turned into a dead zone. Friends, lecturers, security - all with white eyes and blood mouths, biting everyone. Trapped in our dorm for three days with no light, no water, no network, my iPhone 11 dead, we thought we would die. Then he came - Ethan Black. The cold, quiet, handsome boy who always sits alone at the back of my class. He broke our door with a baseball bat and saved me and my best friend Chloe. But while saving us, he was bitten. We have only 24 hours before Ethan turns into a zombie. 24 hours to live, locked in an abandoned cafeteria outside campus, surrounded by the dead. In those 24 hours, with no future and no hope, we fell in love. Real love. When he finally turned, he remembered me. One tear fell from his white zombie eyes. Instead of biting me, he fought his own kind to save me and shouted "RUN ISA RUN!" I was rescued by the military. Ethan was lost for one year as a zombie, alone in that cafeteria. Everyone said he was gone forever. No zombie of one year ever came back. But I went back for him. Can love bring a one-year zombie back to human? Can love survive the dead days?
