Magic has granted Elias all he ever wanted: the love and trust of his two royals Beau and Penny, supernatural skills to protect them, and the power to make any noble in Granvallée dance at his whim. But all magic is a trade, and every gift from his mage-king has taken something from Elias in return. The deal Beau made with an ancient entity to bring Elias back from the dead will ask even more.
When mages come to collect on Beau’s promises, Elias, Penny, and Beau find their kingdom caught in a centuries-old battle between ancient magic and the secret society built to defend against it. If Elias can come to terms with the man he was before Beau—and may need to become again—he’ll secure unlikely allies to keep magic from breaking the world.
