'TWISTS AND TURNS THAT WILL LEAVE YOU REELING' HANNAH KANER
'HEART-POUNDING' SAMANTHA SHANNON
'CHARACTERS I WOULD DIE FOR' SAARA EL-ARIFI
A forbidden power. An impossible prophecy. Two hearts destined to collide.
A new fantasy standalone from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Until We Shatter, with an enemies-to-lovers romance, a disgraced seer, an enemies-to-lovers romance, and a cultist's plot threatening to destroy the world.
Raya Wryvern was supposed to be a prodigy. As the daughter of two powerful Shades - world-renowned for seeing the future - she was expected to graduate the Academy at the top of her class. Instead, she's failing. And the cost of failure is having her magic bound.
Desperate, Raya asks the future a forbidden question. But instead of an answer, it shows her the end of all magic and the death of her kind. And at the heart of the vision is Ezzo, the boy it claims she's destined to love.
Except Ezzo's not just a boy, he's an illegal half-Shade who's spent the last year drinking away his past, and he's not interested in the future - his or hers.
With time running out on a prophecy only she can see, Raya must convince Ezzo to help her decipher the vision - before it's too late to steer their fate onto a different path.
