Lavinia Dawling was never meant to wield magic.
Now, she has been branded a witch for it.
Forced from Verith alongside Helena, Liv finds herself among the very women their kingdom tried to erase. The unwanted. The hunted. The Detested. But hiding will never be enough. Not while others remain trapped beneath the same system that nearly destroyed them.
So Liv decides to do something far more dangerous.
She decides to fight back.
Meanwhile, Ezra Crauford remains in Verith, surrounded by enemies and wielding a power that grows darker by the day. With Liv gone, he must unravel the corruption his father left behind while staying one step ahead of the man quietly tightening his grip around the kingdom.
But rebellion has a cost.
Trust will be broken. Blood will be spilled. Love will be tested. And as Liv and Ezra uncover just how deep Verith’s secrets run, they will learn that the greatest threat may not be the monsters hiding in the dark, but the men convinced they are saving everyone from them.
Because sometimes, destroying a broken system requires becoming the very thing it fears.
