Chapter 1

Cullen had his demons. Knew them well. Saw the damage that magic and overindulgent control could do to people. Then the world changed in the wake of the death of the Divine. The world - his world looked nothing like how he had pictured it. His values were crushed and then she came along.

Tatum, a mage from the Circle of Ostwick, now-turned apostate, has her own past and betrayals and all that encompasses in her life. The complications and accusations of her joining the Conclave have left her at the center of conspiracies and intrigue that she wanted no part it.

Together, they come to terms with their wrongdoings and ghosts as they try to save the world from tearing itself apart at the hands of an ancient evil.
