The world as we know it is controlled by Nobles - powerful wizards that have power over everything. It is the age of ice; a time of ages past, lost in our historical records and unbeknownst to the world today.
The commoners who don't wield magic live under their thrall as slaves, doing everything humanly possible to avoid earning their wrath. A single misstep could spell torture or death.
One morning, a commoner accidentally takes matters into his own hands by standing up against a prominent Noble's son. The ensuing altercation enrages the boy's father Malevolent Drake, who delivers an ultimatum: A hundred commoners are to die in three days to restore his house's honor, or the elimination of the entire commoner camp.
Faced with that reality, the leader of the camp hatches a plot to bring in outside help to combat the Noble army. With time running short, nobody really knows if the plan will even work - given the fact that the Nobles themselves have a few tricks up their sleeves as well.
Tricks that could spell doom for everyone involved...

His hands moved down to cradle her neck. "I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long."
"What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down.
"Let me kiss you again?"
That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited.
Her choice. She set the pace.
Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes.

Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home.
On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless.
Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her.
This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world.
An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything.
Including her heart.
