Cursed magic, doomed love, and a choice that could stop the plague -- or destroy them all.
Lyra is a mage haunted by a curse that could destroy everything she loves. After being forced from her home for possessing transformation magic—a power that once brought chaos to Aethralis—she's survived a decade in hiding. Until a devastating plague threatens to consume her newfound sanctuary, the quiet village of Haleshade.
Torn between two men who awaken different parts of her soul, Lyra must navigate a treacherous path of survival and desire. Griffin, a protective werewolf, offers her a sense of belonging she's never known. But when she encounters Aldric, a vampire prince with secrets spanning thousands of years, their unexpected connection challenges everything she believes about herself.
To save her village, Lyra risks exposure by seeking the vampires' unique magic for a cure. Her dangerous bargain with Aldric intertwines their fates forever. As the plague's true origins emerge—rooted in betrayal closer than she could imagine—Lyra must master her devastating power and unravel the dark secrets of the past before there's no future left to save.
