A wall isn’t the only thing dividing the ruined city of Ignis.

In a city-state split between gleaming towers and irradiated slums, Theopold Kraken fights with the Outsiders-rebels the government calls terrorists. It’s a war he believes in. Then he finds Yin.

She’s bleeding, feral, and not entirely human. Built in a lab as a weapon, Yin escaped with no memories and a body that’s slowly failing. Her Creator made sure she’d never be able to testify about what happened to her. She doesn’t understand mercy. She doesn’t understand trust. She understands that Kraken is the first person who’s ever treated her like she’s worth saving-and she doesn’t know what to do with that.

As Kraken draws Yin into the Outsiders’ world, he discovers that the conspiracy surrounding her reaches into the highest levels of Ignis, and that the people he trusts may be willing to sacrifice her for the cause. Protecting Yin could cost him everything he’s fought for. But walking away from her isn’t something he knows how to do.

Two broken souls. One chance at freedom. In a world where trust can kill you, choosing each other might be the most dangerous act of all.

Calla has no memories of her childhood except for hazy, recurring nightmares. Working as a servant in Kiriong, the picturesque terrace garden home to one of the most influential families in the Kamphua Dominion, she’s content to live a simple life. As long as no one finds out about the forbidden magic stirring under her skin.

When the estranged family heir, Gray—a magehunter in servitude of the royal hold—unexpectedly returns home, Calla’s secret threatens to surface. Instead of turning her in, however, Gray offers her the one thing she always feared: to teach her how to use her powers. And as the turbulent tides of long-forgotten magic draw them together, Calla finds it harder and harder to deny her potential.

But Gray knows more than what he admits. In the aftermath of a vile political plot targeting him and with the shadow of a mage uprising cast upon the land, finding out what happened to Calla in her forgotten years might be their only chance to survive.

Except the knowledge could break them both.

It could break the world.
