Mira Solei was raised to follow orders, marry well, and wield her radiant magic with poise-not purpose. But after years of silence and sacrifice, she walks away from everything her powerful family planned for her. With little more than a suitcase, a stubborn wisp of hope, and a head full of magic theory, Mira sets off toward the city's edge-toward freedom, fear, and a future entirely her own.
But carving out a life without a map is harder than she imagined. The world beyond the Solei estate is chaotic, beautiful, and unkind. And as the lines between admiration and ambition blur, Mira must confront who she is when no one is watching-and who she's willing to become to truly belong.
