After twenty-four years in hiding, the Invectors caught me because I didn't want to disturb the cats on my lap.

Anouette is a walking paradox: a boundless well of power . . . that she can never use. By law she belongs to the Crown and is slated to bond with Prince Auguste. But with the royal burden comes the opportunity to study at Caerdroia, the ivory tower for the realm's deadliest Casters. Despite what she's been told, Anouette is determined to unlock what's trapped inside her - even if it means pretending to be the obedient subject everyone expects.

Soren's hands are bathed in blood.

As the Prelate's heir, he was grown into a living weapon raised to keep order. Anouette's arrival threatens everything. Assigned to shadow her until the prelate demands her death, he is like a bow drawn taut, deadly and patient.

They should be enemies. They should stay enemies. But proximity uncovers a violent kind of heat neither of them can deny, and every lie that keeps them alive brings them closer to burning the world down.
