Description
Emery has no problem painting her knuckles with blood to keep her family fed and safe. But when her little sister gets sick, Emery risks everything by lowering her fists and turning to her magic for the first time in her life. Ever since the Casters healed the dying planet and took over half the world, humans have been clinging to any land they can still call their own. That's why humans made magic illegal, and that's how Emery knew she'd go to prison for curing her sister. But what she didn't know was that Jackson, the young and cunning Commander, was searching for someone just like her to join a secret army of half-blood Casters. He wants to protect their home from the Casters, and he's willing to give her anything to join him. But she wants her sister safe, something she risks every time a spell touches her lips. Now Emery must use magic to survive, avoid it to stay hidden, and lie to the guy falling for her. All magic comes with a price, but not using hers may cost more.
