A fast-paced, incendiary, plot-driven romantic fantasy where a romance ignites fast and burns through everything that follows, perfect for fans of Sable Sorenson, Alex Aster, and Devney Perry.

For decades, Mystics have been executed. Now the King is sparing them. But mercy comes with a cost...

Gisela Valor should be relieved, but mercy has never come without a cost. The Life Stones that sustain the villages of Mystralos have been seized, and the plants she depends on to heal her people are withering. With her own Mystic mark concealed, Gisela learns that silence is no longer safety—it’s surrender.

When she joins forces with Thorne Alderose, her childhood adversary and unexpected ally, they set out to uncover the truth behind the King’s decree and awaken a power that is no ordinary magic.
It’s alive.
Sentient.
And it awakens only to those who are willing.

As old grudges give way to a pull they can’t resist, they encounter four other Mystics with pasts more entangled than they realize.
The land falters, the veil between realms thins, and it becomes clear the King is not the only threat.

Once the truth is exposed, there will be no returning to the world Mystralos once was.
