Quell Marionne’s explosive final Rite of Induction to House Marionne sent shock waves through the magical world, unearthing long-buried secrets and her own deadly power. But she paid a steep price: her family and her love. Fleeing Chateau Soleil for House of Perl, Quell is now celebrated instead of shunned. She has finally found somewhere to belong. But secrets lurk in every House, and Quell’s quest to find her mom threatens to lead her deeper into the shadows.
Assassin Jordan Wexton, now second-in-command of the Dragun brotherhood, must protect the source of all magic, the Sphere. But the biggest threat to magic is Quell Marionne, the girl he once loved—until she claimed the deadly, outlawed toushana. As the Sphere cracks and war brews among the Houses, can the only way to save the world be to kill his own heart?
Now these two lovers turned enemies must confront their competing ambitions and conflicting loyalties—their lives and the future of magic hang on their decision.
