The vibe

Arken Asher is a rare Conduit of Light—and for as long as she can remember, she’s been searching for answers about the dangerous arcane secrets inside her. Driven by an insatiable hunger to understand what she is (and why), Arken leaves her simple life behind to attend the Arcane Studium, a prestigious college of magickal arts and sciences in Sophrosyne: the City of the Gods.

Kieran Vistarii, Scouting & Reconnaissance Captain of the Elder Guard, deals in shadows, blood, and subterfuge. Scarred by his past and fiercely devoted to protecting Sophrosyne’s future, Kieran hides his self-imposed isolation behind charm and cocksure confidence. With strange disappearances spreading fear through the city, his cadre should be focused on the threat… but Kieran can’t stop getting pulled off course by the inexplicable allure of a certain golden-eyed Conduit and her curious mind.

They both know better than to get involved.
But the Fates rarely ask permission.

Prophecy’s dark threads were woven long ago, and the ties binding Arken and Kieran might be what mends their broken, star-crossed souls… or what forges a deadly bond that could damn them all.
