The magic beneath Moonveil is awake. And it remembers what the empire tried to erase.
Cassian Vale and Evander Silverthorn escaped Moonveil as fugitives, bound together by a connection neither fully understands. Now silver roots are spreading across the empire, ancient roads of magic are awakening beneath the earth, and ordinary people are beginning to change.
The empire calls it contamination.
The forgotten histories call it Silverblight.
As Cassian and Evander search for answers, they uncover a truth buried for centuries: magical bonds like theirs were not lost naturally. They were hunted, suppressed, and erased because they threatened the power of the ruling Houses.
And the Silverthorn family may have helped bury the truth.
With imperial forces closing in and an ancient magical network reaching for what was severed from it, Cassian and Evander must decide how much of the old world deserves to be restored—and how much should remain buried.
Because their bond may be the key to saving the empire.
Or opening the door to something far worse.
