Severyn Blanche survived the Serpent Academy, but what waits beyond those walls might be worse.
Now exiled to Malvoria—a guard institute built to break the strongest wielders, Severyn must keep her power buried. Magic is stripped from the body. Loyalty is earned in pain. And trust? That gets you killed. If anyone discovers the truth, she won't just lose her power. She'll lose everything. But the power inside of her is only part of the problem. Her homeland is on the brink of collapse. Her family's past is built on lies. And the one person she's forbidden to love may be the only thing holding her together as everything else begins to fall apart. When she's sent on a mission that could cost her everything, Severyn must choose what to protect: the title she never wanted, the love she cannot have, or the future of a realm already starting to burn. Malvoria doesn't want survivors. It wants silence. And Severyn may be the one weapon it should have destroyed. Contains mature content.
