Belladonna - La série

"First in a page-turning fantasy series." —BookBub It’s the opportunity of a lifetime. The Academy only selects twenty students from across the Empire, and despite his low scores, Yahshi made the cut. From day one, he’s thrown into an aggressive military program where only five graduates will become guardians—elite soldiers tasked with enforcing the Emperor’s rule. To better his odds, Yahshi teams up with Vell, the only girl, and Pinto, the overachiever. The trio tackles academic, athletic, and ethical trials as competitors drop out one by one. The closer they get to graduation, the more they fantasize about serving as guardians together. But the job isn’t what it seems. The Empire demands loyalty above all, and Yahshi discovers that his uniform comes with a price he never agreed to pay.

For fans of the Belladonna series and newcomers alike: “My name is Blimmery Owding, and I dug Maelin's grave.” To salvage his family’s reputation, sixteen-year-old Blimmery joins the Empire’s military boarding school. There, he meets Maelin, a principled orphan, and Taig, her insufferable childhood friend. Their fates entangle post-graduation, when Blimmery faces a problem—Maelin’s imminent demise. He teams up with Taig to save her, and the odd pair launches a mission that spirals into a night of total devastation. Lost in the aftermath, Blimmery puts his life on the line to write a book. He titles it Maelin. And these are his words…

Pinto’s life is in shambles. With Yahshi and Vell vanished and his fellow guardians turned against him, his only ally is Evaris. Together, they dig into the pasts of Pinto’s best friends, uncovering secrets that force him to question his loyalties. Meanwhile, in the Underground hideout, Yahshi clashes with political leaders, Vell struggles to prove herself trustworthy, and Saunti faces a moral dilemma: to commit murder or prevent one. Even in supposed safety, danger lurks in every tunnel. As clocks tick down, tensions rise. The Underground can’t hide forever, but with the Force crumbling from within, they might have time to strike back. One bold move could turn the tide.
