What if the world wasn't what you thought? What if the fairy tales you whispered as a child held the keys to your survival?
In a kingdom where the sky is choked with soot and the soil is barren, magic is no longer a gift-it is a commodity. Under the iron rule of a Tyrant King, every drop of ancient power has been drained from the land, leaving the people of the Mire to battle a hunger that never ends.
Twenty-year-old Elara Fairchild has spent her life playing the role of a mundane human. At the University, she tries to keep her head down-depending on her mood-swallowing the crown's propaganda as easily as the ash in the air. But Elara has a secret: the shadows she's always used for cover have started to whisper back.
A brooding stranger with a dangerous streak as sharp as his blade, Haddon crashes into her life like a storm. With emerald eyes that hold the forbidden secrets of the "Old Days" he drags Elara from the safety of her lies and into a reality she never believed existed. A reality where Elves - hide in a secret, pocket-dimension of the world, jumpstarting the beginning of Elara's true life-and the end of everything she knew.
As the silver amulet hidden beneath her clothes begins to hum with a forbidden, celestial resonance, Elara realizes she is carrying a volatile power that could either reignite the world or lead her straight to the gallows.
In a treacherous journey of ash and starlight, Elara will find an unexpected, fierce love with the man sworn to protect her-a bond that entirely defies the King's law. But the price of truth is absolute: to discover who she truly is, the life she once lived must be burned to the ground.
"The King sits on a throne of shadows and cold iron, believing he has locked the doors to the light. He thinks he has won because magic is gone, but he has forgotten that fire starts with a single, fragile spark."
The shadows are talking. The amulet is waking. And the girl from the Mire is about to turn the
