Barcelona, 1999
Mei Segura was born in Barcelona in 1999, and at eight years old, she moved to Granada, where she discovered her passion for books. She started out reading fantasy stories that became her refuge, and shortly after, she began writing them herself. Ever since, she hasn't been able to stop dreaming and creating magical worlds with epic love stories. She graduated with a degree in English Philology from the University of Granada (UGR) and currently lives in Madrid, balancing her writing with various jobs in the publishing sector. In her free time, if she isn't writing or reading with a coffee in hand, you'll find her traveling the world, taking photos at sunrise while listening to sad music, or visiting her cats in Granada. She is the author of the Etérlume duology, which includes El fin del amanecer and La luz de la eternidad.

Odette Elodie Cinwell thought that the worst she would ever have to face lay within the walls of the Academy. However, when the magical university of Etérlume falls to a corrupt power in the wrong hands, it isn't just her existence at risk, but that of the entire realm.
Rune Evander had his mission set in stone ever since he left Finis, the city of the Eternals, but his world is shaken when he loses the trail of the person for whom he would burn everything to the ground.
Desperate for a chance to defeat the corrupt magic, Odette and Rune must trust those who were once their enemies, seek new allies where no one has dared to venture, uncover the truth about their origins, and sacrifice whatever it takes to save their own. Even if it is their lives on the line.
Odette Elodie Cinwell never imagined she would die so young, much less return to the past and be given a second chance. After an existence filled with suffering and injustice as the daughter of the king's advisor and fiancée to the crown prince, she decides to run away from it all in this new life and try to alter the course of her future.
Just when she thinks she has succeeded and found her place, her entire world is turned upside down upon being summoned to the Testing, where her power will be examined to determine whether she must attend the Academy—the realm's sole magical university, where candidates compete for the highest scores. Everything is fair game at the Academy, even murder.
The problem isn't just that Odette has hidden her magic for years, but that all of her enemies are at the university: Prince Vesper, her fiancé; Senna, her wicked stepsister; and the darkest, most dangerous being in the realm, the Eternal who played a part in her death and haunts her every dream: Rune Evander.
Odette will have to survive the threats of those who want to destroy her, the dangers of the Academy, and the secrets hidden within its walls.
