When her world falls to darkness and she's stripped of everything—her magic, her freedom, her hope—Briony finds herself at auction, sold to the enemy she's secretly longed for. Toven is a powerful Bomardsun from a ruthless family, and she's certain he'll exploit her status as the fallen heir's sister to serve his own ambitions. But as Briony navigates her captivity with sharp wit and hidden resilience, she discovers that survival might mean playing a dangerous game where nothing—and no one—is quite what it seems. In a world where magic has been weaponized and trust is a luxury, an unexpected connection could either be her salvation or her undoing.
