Those who play with magic face the executioner's blade. No exceptions. No hope. No mercy.

Until now.

Eryanne has spent her life hiding what she is—a persecuted Spirit Weaver whose every act of magic drains life force from others, even when healing those in desperate need. When the Queen suddenly begins hunting someone with powers like hers, Eryanne knows her carefully constructed world is about to shatter. Worse, keeping her magic secret means pushing away Abbott, the one person who's always seen past her masks—and the man she can never allow herself to love.

In the royal palace, Princess Calliope uncovers evidence of her stepmother's deadly plot—one that threatens her beloved brother's claim to the throne and the fate of the entire kingdom. Meanwhile, in a quiet farming village, Jerra's own dormant, lethal powers awaken, drawing the attention of the Queen and a commander whose piercing eyes see straight through her false bravado.

As ancient prophecies stir and dragons long thought extinct cast shadows over the realm, these three women must navigate secrets, lies, and forbidden attraction. In a kingdom where trust means death, opening your heart could be the deadliest magic of all.

Fans of Carissa Broadbent, Holly Black, and Jennifer L. Armentrout will love this Avatar: The Last Airbender meets Throne of Glass tale of forbidden magic, deadly court intrigue, and love that could save—or destroy—everything.

Enter a world where magic can save you—or mark you for death.
