The Poison Plot

In the city of Noctua, magic was gifted to mortals centuries ago by long-vanished gods. Now, magic is vanishing, and it will take an unlikely pair to uncover why.

Sage is a thief, forced to work for a cruel crime lord. Angry and chafing from her lack of freedom, Sage wants nothing more than to liberate herself from his authority. But her boss keeps a close eye on his employees, and she can't find a way to escape on her own.

Aiden is a guard, his career imposed on him by his domineering father. His newest case, discovering why rich politicians are losing their magical abilities, is his biggest yet, and he has no idea how to solve it on his own.

When Aiden approaches Sage with an offer to work together to prove her boss is connected to his assignment, it could be the answer to both of their problems. But the mystery isn't quite what it seems. As they are faced with their growing feelings for one another, they realize that their futures aren't all that hang in jeopardy. The fate of the entire kingdom is at risk, and they must determine how much they're willing to sacrifice to save it.
