Where the Magic Hides

Magic is everywhere.
It lives in ancient forests, forgotten ruins, royal bloodlines, creatures thought to be extinct, and places most people have never dared to look.
But some magic is meant to stay hidden.
Zyra has never cared much for rules.
Part elf, part fae, and part demon, she's made a living as a thief-surviving on her instincts, her sharp tongue, and whatever she can get her hands on. She knows how to disappear when things get dangerous.
Unfortunately, stealing jewels from a royal castle isn't exactly disappearing.
Then there's Aeris.
A member of the royal family who has never quite felt like they belong among crowns, ceremonies, and expectations. Elegant on the outside, rebellious underneath, Aeris has a secret of their own-one that could put an entire species in danger.
When Zyra and Aeris cross paths, neither expects the other to become important.
But secrets have a way of finding each other.
Especially when one of those secrets involves the last surviving creature of a species whose magic is more powerful than anything the world has ever known.
And someone is hunting it.
Eryx has spent years searching for that magic.
He is powerful. He is feared. And somehow, he always seems to know more than he should.
Now Zyra and Aeris have stumbled into something far bigger than either of them could have imagined.
A hidden world.
A hunted creature.
A dangerous enemy.
And a secret that could change the balance of magic forever.
Because sometimes the most dangerous things aren't the monsters people fear.
Sometimes...
they're the things magic hides.
