[WSA 2025 Entry]

Aiden Chase has always lived in the shadow of his family’s legacy. As the eldest son of the renowned Chase family, celebrated for their relentless pursuit and capture of Magi- beings cursed with extraordinary powers- he was raised to uphold their name. But everything changes when Aiden awakens to a power of his own, a fire within that marks him as the very thing his family hunts. When his father hunts him down, Aiden is rescued and taken to Genvah Academy, an illustrious academy for Magi hidden in the outskirts of Soleil. At first, Aiden hopes the academy will offer him solace and a chance to reclaim a semblance of peace. But Genvah Academy nor Soleil is no haven. 

Beneath the city's golden spires lies darkness- secrets, betrayal, and a looming war that threatens to consume everything. As Aiden unravels the truth about his powers and his family’s legacy, he must navigate a world far more dangerous than he ever imagined. 

Peace is fleeting, and survival comes at a cost.

Whispers of Worlds Beyond: A Series

Aiden, Adrian, and Sevan stood frozen in front of the dark passageway, the air thick with something almost tangible- dust, age, and an eerie stillness. The opening in the floor gaped at them like the mouth of some great beast waiting to swallow them whole.

Adrian was the first to move. He peered down into the darkness with a lopsided grin. "Well, well. This detention just got interesting."

Aiden, still gripping the now-locked trophy, glanced at Sevan. "What do you think?"

Sevan pinched the bridge of his nose. "I think we're supposed to be cleaning, not breaking into secret tunnels. Flinders is going to flip out if we don't finish."

Adrian waved a dismissive hand. "Come on, Sevan. Don't you want to know why this thing was hidden?"

"I do," Sevan admitted, arms crossed, "but I also don't want to spend an entire month in detention because we abandoned our cleaning duty."
