Of Books and Mages

Aria has long dreamed of a future that includes written words. But as a commonborn in Ardann, there’s only one way to achieve that dream—be selected as one of the fortunate few to be sealed.

Zak is attractive, charming, and kind, and he gives Aria a glimpse of a future beyond being sealed. But he’s a mage, and while times might be changing in Ardann, they haven’t changed that much. As a commonborn, Aria can have no future with a mage. And with a killer on the loose and targeting commonborns, her distraction might put her at risk of losing more than just her heart.
