About this book
When the world's only unbound mage falls for a feared fae executioner, keeping that love secret becomes impossible—especially when that secret could destroy their entire rebellion. Em and Creon must journey to a plague-cursed continent to break the Mother's bindings while hiding the truth that could turn their would-be allies against them, all while navigating dragons, ancient ruins, and the growing distrust of their companions. As tensions spiral and the stakes of their love mount against the fate of the world itself, Em faces an agonizing choice: follow her heart or save everything she's fighting for. This is a sweeping tale of forbidden love tested by duty, trust fractured by necessity, and the impossible decision between personal happiness and saving the world.
