Centuries ago, the collapse of the Great Reign fractured the Magicklands, dividing faeries, humans, and demons into warring territories: the Crescent and the Demon Realm. The harmony that once bound their peoples has decayed into blood feuds, buried secrets, and ancient magick.

Brinley Ashryn knows this conflict intimately. Her family was murdered in its wake, and the trauma erased all memory of who she was before. Rescued and raised by the revered Faylis Elites of the Crescent, Brinley has spent years proving herself—despite the disgrace of her half-human, half-demon heritage. Though an outsider by blood, her healing magick may be the Crescent’s most vital asset in the brewing war.

Now, as ancient spirits begin to stir—one offering knowledge, and the other seeking vengeance—an ominous spell trail surfaces across the Magicklands. Brinley and her team of Elites must uncover its source before it triggers a full-scale attack nobody will survive. Yet with every discovery, new secrets emerge—ones that blur the lines between ally and enemy, past and future, truth and deception.

Torn between the family that saved her and the one she can no longer remember, Brinley must decide where her loyalty lies—before the world collapses again, this time for good.
