On her twenty-first birthday, Metra Donovan is ripped from the only life she’s ever known and thrown into Thrae—a realm where magic is law, power is inherited, and nothing comes without a cost.
In Thrae, Metra learns that magic isn’t just real—it’s necessary. And worse, she carries a gift no one has ever seen before. One that doesn’t fit their rules.
One that makes her valuable, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. As she searches for a way home, Metra is forced to navigate a world that sees her as a threat.
Bound by secrets she doesn’t yet understand and hunted by those who fear her mere existence, she must decide who she is in a realm determined to define her for its own survival.
Caught between power, secrets, and a connection she never asked for—but can’t deny—Metra’s journey becomes about more than escape. It’s about discovering who she is, and where she truly belongs.
