Elara has always tried to stay invisible. She hides her strange powers from everyone, even her friends, because in her kingdom, magic like hers is forbidden. One mistake could mean her death.
But when she accidentally kills the king, everything changes. Overnight, she becomes the most wanted person in the entire kingdom. Soldiers are hunting her. Her face is on every poster. And the powers she once tried to hide are the only thing keeping her alive.
As she runs from the people she used to trust, Elara starts to learn that the king's death wasn't really an accident-and that her powers are connected to something much bigger and darker than she ever imagined.
Now she has to choose to keep running or fight back and uncover the truth about who she really is.
