Start ReadingSynopsis
Kade Riven clawed his way out of the Ashmark slums with stolen spellbooks and raw talent, earning a scholarship to Valdris Academy—the empire's most prestigious magic school. His mission: steal the Celestial Cipher, a reality-warping spell that could free his imprisoned sister. But his rival, the ice-cold prodigy Seraphine Ashcroft, sees through every lie he tells. When a forbidden ritual fractures the academy's wards and unleashes something ancient and hungry, Kade must choose between his mission and the lives of everyone inside—including the rival who's starting to look at him like he's worth saving. Can a thief learn to trust before his secrets devour them all?
