In the kingdom of Otacia, Lena Daelyra hides her identity and magic in a world where Mages are hunted and unprotected. A dangerous job brings her into the orbit of Quill Callon, a swordsman who trains her to defend herself, while her feelings for him sharpen the risk of being discovered. The story also follows Crown Prince Silas La’Rune, whose escape from the castle intersects with Lena’s fate. Years later, Lena and other Mages face capture by a vengeful heir, with Magekind’s future at stake. The publisher flags explicit sexual content, violence, gore, torture, sexual assault, rape, loss, and grief.

Book overview

In this spicy and darkromantasy setting BookTok ablaze, a young mage is captured by her mortal enemybent on exacting revenge. Lena Daelyra has survived by following two rules: never let anyone find out what she isand never wield her powers. After all, Mages are hunted for sport and have no laws to protect them. Staying alive means keeping to herself in the gritty outskirts of the kingdom of Otacia. Until the day a job gone awry lands Lena in ruthless hands, only to be saved by Quill Callon, a handsome swordsman from the wealthy Inner Ring. As Quill begins to train Lena to defend herself, her growing feelings for him serve as a cruel reminder that to reveal what she is would only be a death sentence.

Crown Prince Silas La'Rune has been a prisoner inside his own castle since he was five years old--after the murder of his younger sister. But the day he manages to escape the changes everything.
