Tisaanah, torn from her homeland as a child, survived a brutal life with sharp wit and forbidden magic. The night she attempts to buy her freedom ends in betrayal, forcing her to flee. Driven by a promise to save the friend she left behind, she journeys to the Orders—the elite magic Wielders—to carve a new path. But the price of entry? An apprenticeship with Maxantarius Farlione, a fire wielder haunted by his bloody past and his disdain for the Orders.
As war looms and dark powers weave their traps, Tisaanah must navigate the Orders’ shadowy motives and her growing bond with Maxantarius. To keep her promise, she’ll risk everything—even the dangerous magic that could save her future or destroy them both.
