About

Nestled high in the breathtaking mountains, surrounded by endless forests, snowy peaks, and misty valleys, stands Aurelia University — one of the most prestigious private universities in the world. At first glance, Aurelia is a luxurious modern university, complete with glass buildings, grand libraries, expensive dormitories, rooftop cafés, exclusive parties, and students from influential families. But beneath its glamorous exterior lies an ancient tradition. Every student must have a horse. Not an ordinary horse, but an enchanted companion chosen through an unbreakable magical bond. Each horse possesses unique abilities, and its rider inherits a portion of its magic. A horse is more than a companion at Aurelia; it represents status, power, and identity. Students compete in prestigious equestrian tournaments, attend specialized riding classes, and showcase their horses at extravagant university events. Their achievements are broadcast through the university's social media platforms, making the most successful riders campus celebrities. Among them is Cassian Vale, a twenty-one-year-old student known for his striking appearance, wealthy background, effortless confidence, and notorious popularity. He leads a close-knit circle of equally influential boys and is practically untouchable on campus. His horse, Obsidian, is a magnificent black stallion with an intimidating presence and extraordinary magical abilities. The two share an exceptionally powerful bond, making them the university's most admired pair. Then comes Guest. A new transfer student who arrives at Aurelia without a horse, without an impressive family name, and without any apparent magical abilities. While everyone else has already been chosen, weeks pass without a single horse showing interest in her. Naturally, the students begin talking. The campus group chats filled with jokes, the popular girls mock her openly, and Seraphina Laurent, the university's self-proclaimed queen bee, makes no effort to hide her disdain. Cassian initially finds the situation amusing. However, there's something about the new girl that catches his attention. He notices how she refuses to be embarrassed, how she doesn't seem particularly impressed by his popularity, and how Obsidian occasionally becomes unusually attentive whenever she passes. Everything changes during Aurelia's annual Bonding Festival. In the middle of the ceremony, the doors of the forbidden northern stable open. Out emerges Elysian. A breathtaking white stallion with a flowing silver mane and icy blue eyes. A legendary horse that has rejected every potential rider for generations. No student has ever been able to approach him, let alone touch him. Yet, in front of the entire university, Elysian walks straight toward Guest. And kneels. The courtyard falls silent. Hundreds of phones capture the impossible moment. Professors stare in disbelief, while students exchange stunned whispers. Even Cassian loses his usual composure. Beside him, Obsidian lowers his head in recognition. For the first time in centuries, the two legendary horses have acknowledged one another's riders. But the university's forgotten archives hold a secret: the black and white stallions are the last guardians of an ancient magic, and their chosen riders are connected by a prophecy that Aurelia's founders desperately tried to erase. And perhaps the greatest mystery isn't why Elysian chose her, but why Obsidian seems to have been waiting for her, too.
