Greta has never feared her power—she delights in it. Magic is the one place she feels whole. But a curse stitched into her blood keeps her silent, unable to share the truth with her best friend, Ariana. Every spell she casts, every secret she keeps, tightens the noose around the life she’s built.
Ariana is stepping into a new world of ambition and sharp edges, working under Killian Vanders—the enigmatic executive whose calm smile never reaches his eyes. There’s something ancient in the way he watches her, something cold in the shadows that follow him down the halls. And when Greta’s curse begins to crack, Ariana finds herself caught between the life she knows and a darkness she was never meant to see.
As hidden forces close in and old magic stirs awake, Greta and Ariana are pulled toward a truth that binds them far deeper than friendship.
Some secrets protect.
Some destroy.
And some are waiting to claim their due.
