In Belaria, magic is power-
and power belongs to those who wield it.
Alya Velmire has spent her whole life wearing the mask of the perfect heir-despite being born to a murdered non-magical mother and raised as a blemish on a prestigious mage bloodline.
When a political mission goes wrong, Alya falls into the hands of Sirius Lioren: a rebel leader, a Union idealist, and the first person to look at her and see the truth she's terrified to face.
"When was the last time your family made you feel like you're enough?"
The question shatters the world she thought she knew.
As her carefully constructed life collapses, Alya spirals into a world where loyalty means complicity, and strength means becoming a monster.
But some choices can't be undone.
Some lines, once crossed, lead only to devastation.
And when everything she loves burns to ash, there will be only one way to make it right:
Go back.
Change everything.
No matter the cost.
A dark fantasy of political intrigue, forbidden magic, and a love that transcends time itself.
