Dark magic courses through Zarya's veins—magic that could save countless lives... or doom her world.

Shattered by Rabin's betrayal, Zarya vows to leave all thoughts of him behind. In the dangerous city of Ishaan, she joins a new struggle for freedom.

The nobles and scholars of Ishaan live in luxury. But thousands of vanshaj workers are born into magical slavery—in punishment for a crime forgotten centuries ago.

Zarya is outraged and certain that the fate of the vanshaj is linked to her own magic. With Yasen at her side, she throws herself into the fight.

On a deadly raid, Zarya uncovers the key to freeing the vanshaj...

But only one person can teach her to use it without tearing herself apart. The man who ignited her magic. Who brings her more pleasure and more pain than any other. The last person she wants to see right now. Rabin.
