A slow-burn romantic fantasy of faith, freedom, and love in a kingdom poised between renewal and ruin
Prettany is dying. A miniature ice age has strangled the harvest, plague crawls across the countryside, and the long‑ruling Order of witches is losing its grip. When Talis, a foreign‑born woodsman returning only to mourn his adoptive parents, stumbles upon a mob attacking a young witch of the Order, a single arrow scatters the crowd and binds his fate to the Acolyta Secundus, whose growing powers will reshape their world.
Three centuries after a quark-fusion disaster carved Lake Princeton into the earth and sealed Elisia behind the deadly Maelstrom, the forbidden land remains a mystery—until Elijah Spalding crossed the barrier.
Now, with a sharp-witted princess of Elisia’s ruling Families, he’s dodging raiders, bargaining with diamonds, and trying to survive—all while rumors spread he’s some “Prince Eli” destined to save a civilization he barely understands.
The Archon wants his car. The Archon’s men want him dead. And Nigel—the guy who sent him here—might be the biggest traitor of all.
If he can’t outfly them, outthink them, and outfight them, Elisia burns. And maybe him with it.
