At Vaukore, the most prestigious Magical university in all seven realms, Maeve Sinclair is content to study Practical Magic. At least until Malachite Peur, the youngest Supreme Magical in history, makes a tempting offer to train her in Combative Magic instead. Soon the pair find themselves on a search for powerful Magical objects that haven't been seen in centuries. While a prophecy unravels around them, they navigate politics, war, and their forbidden union. After all. . . blood calls to blood. Like calls to like. And Magic calls to Magic.
