Welcome to Breakbattle Academy, where your magical affinity isn't just your destiny—it's your weapon. For centuries, students have been sorted into one of four houses: Ignis (Fire), Terra (Earth), Aer (Wind), or Aqua (Water). The annual Battle of the Elements isn't just a school competition; it's a brutal, no-holds-barred tournament that determines social status, resources, and future prospects. Kaelen, a rare "Umbra" with an affinity for shadow magic—a type not seen in generations—arrives as the first-ever fifth-house student. Met with suspicion, hostility, and open warfare from the established houses, he must forge unlikely alliances with Elara, a fiery Ignis prodigy battling her own legacy, and Rhen, a strategic Aqua mender who sees the cracks in the academy's ancient foundations. As Kaelen trains to survive the coming battles, he uncovers a dark secret buried beneath the academy grounds: a forgotten history of a fifth element that was sealed away for a reason. The omnibus contains the complete trilogy: *The Fifth Element*, *The Fractured Core*, and *The Final Ascent*. This edition includes bonus content and a new epilogue from the author.
