This stunning slow-burn romantasy follows a fated pair who uncover a world-changing secret and are thrust into a violent class war, navigating love, loss, and devastating betrayals. Nina Harrow and Patrick Colson are twelve years old when they are whisked away from the shadows of their disenfranchised mining towns to dazzling Belavere City to discover their magical potential. Those who pass Belavere’s test will become Artisans, wielders of powerful elemental magic destined to fulfill the city’s grand ambitions. For Nina, the Artisan School symbolizes a dream and an escape from her harsh reality, while Patrick yearns to return to his Craftsman family, whose extraordinary physical strength serves the idium mines keeping the city alive. And then they uncover a devastating truth: Artisans aren’t born, they’re chosen. They part ways on very different paths, leaving them to carry the burden of this secret alone. In the years that follow, a Craftsman revolution ignites, thrusting Nina and Patrick into opposing factions of a brewing war. Now an elite Artisan with the very rare talent for charming earth, Nina has turned her back on the fight, haunted by the loss of her found family. But fate intervenes when she is captured by Patrick’s rebel group. Despite the years and conflict that separates them, Patrick hasn’t forgotten Nina. He desperately seeks her help for a mission that could shift the tides against Belavere City. Reluctantly, she agrees, battling the sparks flying between them. But when Nina’s first love reappears, asking her to betray Patrick for the sake of the Artisans, Nina faces an impossible choice that could alter the fate of their world.

I didn’t want to be his friend. I wanted to stay alive.But letting him in might cost me more than dying ever could. DahliaWalking into that alley was a mistake.Trying to save a stranger was even worse.But once he pulled the trigger and I saw what he was capable of, I knew there was no going back.I tried to run.But he was faster.So out of desperation, I offered him the only thing I could think of. Friendship. I never expected him to accept it.Or to take it so literally.Now I’m in over my head and out of options.But as long as he keeps calling, I’ll keep answering.Because Echo Sannikov may just be the most dangerous man I’ve ever known.And after everything I’ve survived, that should terrify me… even if it doesn’t. EchoI should have killed her.That’s the rule I’ve always lived by.Witnesses don’t survive. Monsters don’t hesitate.But she stepped in to save me.She didn’t know who I was or what I’d done.She saw I was surrounded and decided that mattered more than her own safety.People don’t do that.Not unless they’re used to taking the punishment so someone else doesn’t have to.That’s what made her different.The exception to every rule I’ve ever followed. Now I know where she sleeps.Where she eats.And all the places she goes when she needs to be alone.Dahlia Delacruz thinks we’re just friends.But she has no idea how much I’m paying attention.Or how hard it’s becoming to stop.
