Sophomore Solstice. North Pole University, #3

His magic is considered weak. Her brilliance intimidates everyone. Together, they might just rewrite the rules of supernatural power... Dylan thought he'd never find his place at North Pole University. While other reindeer shifters soar through advanced courses, his magic barely sparks-earning him worried looks from professors and pitying glances from classmates. He's ready to accept that some people just aren't meant for greatness.
Lyra has spent her life as the brilliant orphan under Professor Lumina's wing, excelling in every subject but struggling to connect with anyone her own age. Her academic achievements can't fill the loneliness that follows her through NPU's magical halls. When a partnership assignment forces them together, something unprecedented happens-their magic doesn't just combine, it transforms into something legendary.
The discovery of an ancient hidden chamber reveals that their connection taps into partnership magic, a nearly extinct art that once shaped the supernatural world.
