You only care about yourself. You are never enough. You are weak.

Twenty-five year old Sorsha Ardynaire deals with grief the same way anyone else would– she doesn’t. And she hasn’t for eighteen years. The one thing Sorsha wants to do… keep her family safe. And it's the thing she's already failed at.

When a run-in with the undead and a malicious thief leaves her embarrassingly rescued, Sorsha is pulled into a dangerous task; deciphering an ancient text to reveal gifts powerful enough to reshape the world. In exchange for her family’s safety, she’s forced to work with a team of magic wielders– the very kind of people she detests. But the deeper they venture into divine labyrinths and rare magic, the more Sorsha’s carefully crafted walls crack. The crew she swore to tolerate becomes harder to hate, and Ostyn– a shameless flirt with secrets of his own– proves impossible to resist.

Yet magic demands more than skill. And the power Sorsha seeks may only awaken if she finally faces the wounds she’s spent a lifetime suppressing.
