At Brakebills, you’re known for keeping your magic quiet and your life contained—doing just enough to avoid attention. Control has always kept you safe. Then Penny Adiyodi notices what you avoid and refuses to let it slide. As he presses on your restraint and challenges your indifference, containment begins to shift into choice. A slow-burn, psychologically tense romance set in The Magicians universe, where power reveals itself quietly—and being seen changes everything.
