At ten years old, the Heir of Jasad flees a massacre that takes her
entire family. At fifteen, she buries her first body. At twenty,
the clock is ticking on Sylvia's third attempt at home. Nizahl's
armies have laid waste to Jasad and banned magic across the four
remaining kingdoms. Fortunately, Sylvia's magic is as good at
playing dead as she is. When the Nizahl Heir tracks a group of
Jasadis to Sylvia's village, the quiet life she's crafted unravels.
Calculating and cold, Arin's tactical brilliance is surpassed only
by his hatred for magic. When a mistake exposes Sylvia's magic,
Arin offers her an escape: compete as Nizahl's Champion in the
Alcalah tournament and win immunity from persecution. In exchange,
Arin will use her as bait to draw out the Jasadis he's hunting. To
win the deadly Alcalah, Sylvia must work with Arin to free her
trapped magic, all while staying a step ahead of his efforts to
uncover her identity. But as the two grow closer, Sylvia realizes
winning her freedom as Nizahl's Champion means destroying any
chance of reuniting Jasad under her banner. The scorched kingdom is
rising again, and Sylvia will have to choose between the life she's
earned and the one she left behind.
