The kingdom is protected by magical barriers, the history books tell the truth, the creatures beyond the walls are the enemy. At least, that’s what Y/N has always believed. As one of the academy’s most talented scribes, she has spent her life surrounded by records, stories, and carefully preserved histories. But when cracks begin to appear in the official version of the past, she is forced to question everything she thought she knew. Including Kael Arden. Arrogant, feared, brilliant. The last person she wants to trust. Yet the deeper she digs into the kingdom’s secrets, the more impossible it becomes to ignore the truths hidden beneath its foundations. Because some stories were never meant to be discovered. And some lies are powerful enough to start a war.
