Shadows twist, mates rise, and one cursed egg may ignite a war. ARC sign-ups are now open for this deadly year two at Dragonis Academy.
Last year, she survived the trials. This year, she’s protecting more than her life.
Following the success of Cursed Egg Year One, Serenity Rayne returns with a brutal new chapter in the Dragonis Academy saga—and this time, the stakes are higher, the bonds are deeper, and the gauntlet is deadlier.
Guardian of the Cursed Egg releases June 6, 2025, and ARC sign-ups are officially open. If you’re into dangerous academies, slow-build harems, and dragons with secrets worth killing for, this one’s for you.
And for audiobook fans? You’re in luck: Serenity is thrilled to announce that all four books in the main series have been picked up for audio production—so your favorite cursed eggs will soon be breathing fire through your speakers.
Dive into Guardian of the Cursed Egg:
Shadows twist around the ancient walls of Shadowcarve Academy—part fortress, part labyrinth of secrets. Last year, I barely survived its brutal trials, but I left with more than scars: three mates, bound to me in a once-in-a-lifetime connection that feels ripped from a fairy tale. And then there’s the legendary red egg—coveted by countless students for centuries—and somehow it chose me.
But survival here always comes at a price. Now, every step I take is under scrutiny, with a so-called “fan club” just waiting to watch me fail. This year’s trials promise even darker gauntlets and deadlier challenges, and the training has a reputation for breaking bones—and minds. My mates warn me that many will fall … and fall hard.
Sometimes, I wonder if the cutthroat world of politics would’ve been safer than this savage art of war.
