I am arresting you for the crime of being mageborn. You will yield, or face certain death...
Orphan Grace Marchant has always questioned the harsh laws of the Kingdom of Rathlynn. But when her closest friend is uncovered as mageborn and imprisoned, she must act.
Begging handsome Prince Bastien Larelwynn to spare her friend's life, the fire in Grace's blood calls to him. She's sure she'll be thrown in the dungeon too. But Bastien tells no one.
And Grace has to trust him with more than her life when she discovers the Queen's devastating plan, using the mageborn's stolen powers. But with her own magic growing, can Grace really trust her former enemy... and with betrayal at every turn, will they survive long enough to save the mageborn?
A dark and addictive fantasy read, perfect for fans of Graceling and Sarah J. Maas.

Captivating... I simultaneously wanted to power through it but didn't want it to end... it's fantastic. It's brilliant. I love it... I have several notes in my Kindle app from emotional scenes where it's purely emotive responses of "AWEEE", "OMGGGG", "WTF IS THIS?!"... a beautiful piece of fantasy fiction that should be on everyone's tbr list.' Goodreads Reviewer
I was hooked... there is heartbreak from the very beginning... I was going through a rollercoaster of emotions - my heart felt like it had been ripped out, trampled on, and then trampled on some more for good measure... This book is certainly a page-turner, I read it over two afternoons.' Goodreads Reviewer
I loved it... A brilliant start to this series which already has me asking and wondering... WHAT HAPPENS NOW? WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?... left me speechless... Brilliantly written and gripping. Highly recommend.' Gemma's Book Reviews
