The First Rule of the Rayce Family
Aniese Rayce was raised on four rules: stay out of trouble, hide your magic, trust no one outside your family, and never fall in love.
She breaks all four almost the moment she escapes her remote village and enters the Magic Academy of Isil.
In the capital, dark magic stalks the streets, old rebellions are not as dead as they seem, and the throne of Centin is shadowed by blood, secrets, and a curse that has never loosened its grip. The deeper Aniese is drawn into this world, the harder it becomes to stay hidden, and the more dangerous it is to trust anyone at all.
Because some secrets can destroy a kingdom, and some choices can destroy her.
