Two Lives. A Thousand Lies. Nina left behind the shores of Carmel and the chaos of Los Angeles to chase the New York dream. Now, she lives divided between two worlds that couldn't be further apart. On one side is the whirlwind of high-profile Manhattan: she works for a prestigious agency managing the image of world-famous supermodel Sienna Fox-a reality defined by celebrities, glamour, and breathtaking luxury. On the other side is her "real" life: her lifelong friends and her boyfriend, all recent graduates struggling every day to find their place in the world. For six years, Nina has tried to keep these two universes separate, convinced she could belong to both without ever betraying herself. But balance is a fragile illusion. When the crystal kingdom of her career begins to shatter, her two worlds enter a collision course, dragging her into a vortex of secrets and poor choices. Between the blinding lights of Manhattan and the shadows of desires she never knew she had, Nina will lose her way. Trapped in a system that knows no mercy, she will discover that the line between loyalty and betrayal is as thin as a silk thread. And once it snaps, nothing will ever be the same. Because in New York, the truth is the only luxury no one can afford.

The plague of the witch's reign ended nearly two centuries ago, their age of power over the realm of Vytelor finally ceasing at the hands of the royal family. Throughout the eighty-year war, they managed to find the witch's weaknesses, they learned where their magic stemmed from, and with their armies strategized a way to make it end. A way to slaughter the most powerful of them, and force the rest into surrender. The Kendrick family then formulated a plan. A witch's magic is an important element with many uses, many of which the people agreed that they couldn't live without. They couldn't eradicate them completely. Spells of protection, enchantments that provide the body with warmth in snow, or sigils cast into the skin to bring luck or health. Their ability to tap into one's soul. To see one as one's most sincere self, and even go as far as reaching to discover one's soul bond, one's truest match. Such abilities couldn't go to waste regardless of the potential danger. Their use was priceless, and they had become easy enough to control under the right hand. Discipline and restraints were enough to keep their anger and vengeance from turning into anything truly harmful. Thus, the royals set out an order for containment instead. Grimoires filled with history and knowledge were collected and burned, save for a select few. Something similar happened with the witches themselves. Witches of the new generation grew up lacking knowledge of how to tap into their potential and were, from there, deemed no threat. These witches were sold off to me, no more than help in a homestead to those who could afford them. Those few that were picked and permitted to wield their magic were trained solely in the art of what the kingdom wanted them for. No more, and no less. Now was the time for Prince Elias to take his throne, but first must come to he ceremony with a witch to find who his soul's bond is. Followed by a hunt with his men to find her, and make her his Queen.

The deepest darkest prison on the planet is not where anyone would choose to start their day, particularly when they have a job to do. A princess and her personal guards fighting to stop a war, arrested for trespassing; an expert assassin stalking a merciless wizard, arrested for poaching; and a confused boy, utterly lost and severely concussed, arrested for failing to adequately explain who he was or how he came to be lying in a sizable crater. Together this unlikely, and somewhat unwilling, band of allies will perform daring escapes and battle an onslaught of mages, monsters, and malodorous thieves as they race across a continent to save two nations from mutual annihilation.
