In a world ruled by elemental covens, power decides who lives-and who burns.
Nova Vale never knew she had magic. Her mother hid it from her, keeping her safe-or so she thought. But when power she can't control explodes in front of the wrong eyes, she's dragged into the Keep-a marble-walled prison where cruelty wears the mask of tradition.
Under constant watch by a cold, unyielding enforcer, Nova is pushed to her limits in rituals meant to break her. Yet whispers of rebellion stir in the shadows... and a bond with a legendary creature hints at a destiny the covens never saw coming.
Her magic isn't a curse.
It's a threat.
And the Keep is about to learn what happens when you cage the wrong witch.
