Raised in a quiet town by her mother with the help of her uncle, Emilia never expected her life to be anything but ordinary. But after she turns eighteen, a mandatory test reveals the impossible, she's a Nex, born with the most dangerous and outlawed magic in existence.

Her powers are sealed. Her freedom stripped. Her choices: work at the elite Aetheris Academy or be sent to the mines, where people are worked till, they die.

At Aetheris, Emilia finds an unexpected ally in Rin, a fellow Nex user who's learned how to survive without magic. With his help, she begins to navigate this strange new world, one filled with power struggles, secrets, and ancient rules that don't favor people like her.

But nothing could prepare her for the four men who would shatter the silence inside her: Aqueous, Teryn, Igneous, and Airwyn. She feels drawn to them, not by choice, but by some force older than time. It's more than attraction, it's need, deep and aching and written into her bones.

But something sinister is stalking the halls of Aetheris, and if Emilia can't uncover the truth in time, she fears it could be the ones she loves, who are next.

Her magic is forbidden. Her heart is fractured. Her destiny is only beginning.

Full of action, passion, and supernatural intrigue, this trilogy explores loyalty, identity, and the cost of power.
