A forbidden magic, a deadly rebellion, and a love that could ruin it all.
Sage is an Aubade, an alchemist with little magic but a brilliant mind, secretly working to democratize magic-a dangerous pursuit in a kingdom that views her magic as a threat. When a violent explosion destroys her workplace, Sage is forced to flee to the royal palace, navigating court intrigue while avoiding a deadly rebellion determined to exploit her discoveries.
Assigned an enigmatic protector, Captain Eskar Devath, Sage clashes with him at every turn, but their constant tension hides an undeniable attraction. On a perilous quest for a rare mineral crucial to her research, Sage must confront shocking betrayals and make an impossible choice that could determine the fate of her people, her kingdom, and the man she's falling for.
