She was never meant to be here.
Whittaker School of Magick, an elite academy where elemental wielders are forged into weapons for the ruling Service, where power isn’t just a gift—it’s something to be controlled, contained… or taken.
And Celeste Farris is hiding something they would kill to own. She tries to stay invisible. To bury the magick rising beneath her skin. But power like hers doesn’t stay hidden.
Not from Noa Gallagher—the fire-wielder who burns too bright, too hot, and looks at her like she’s something worth destroying the world for.
And not from Gavrail Kamenov—the shadow-bound rival with silver eyes that sees too much, knows too much… and pulls her closer with every dangerous step.
As ancient bloodlines begin to wake and the balance of power starts to fracture, Celeste realizes the truth: She isn’t just part of the game. She’s the reason it’s being played in the first place.
