What to expect
In Zurich—the wealthy, peaceful city where I plan to attend university—I walk into a war zone. Vampires, werewolves, Knights Magica, and the Mage Guild battle for supremacy. Apprenticed to a man considered the greatest living mage, I have a lot to learn—if I survive.
"Balance is messy. Freedom is messy. People and their social constructs aren't always pretty."
A dark, character-driven urban fantasy where magic is power, alliances are fragile, and survival means walking the line between order and chaos.
Perfect for listeners who love: dark, immersive urban fantasy with political depth; complex heroine with untamed magic; magic vs. morality stories where no side is clean; and high-stakes danger, evolving friendships, and hard-earned power.
Contains mature themes.
