In a city where magic is bottled and sold, Elara is a talented but unlicensed alchemist, hiding from the powerful Guild that killed her mentor. Her quiet life shatters when a wounded royal investigator, Kaelen, collapses at her door. He's hunting the very same corrupt Guild members she's hiding from. Forced into a reluctant alliance, Elara must use her forbidden knowledge to help Kaelen. As their fake relationship deepens into real attraction, her secrets become a danger to them both. Now, Elara must choose: trust the man sent to uphold the law she broke, or vanish once more, losing her only chance at love.
