Hate can start a war, but a
shattered heart can fuel it for centuries.
Everything Ada does is wrong. She’s
the daughter of a Duke but she isn’t proper or formal. She prefers the company
of her servants—particularly Christian, the boy she’s loved since she was six
years old, and his sister, Charity, Ada’s very best friend in the entire world.
Ada isn’t just the daughter of a Duke. No, she’s the daughter of one of the most powerful Edren sorcerers alive, and no matter how strong she is, it isn’t strong enough. Ada will give up almost everything to earn her father’s pride.
Christian has loved Ada since the day his mother became her governess. But two societies are determined to keep them apart—the aristocracy who say a groom will never be good enough for a Duke’s beautiful daughter, and the sorcerers who say a Carules and an Edren can never be together. Christian will do anything to make Ada his—even drive himself to madness.
When Ada suspects her father of hurting Charity and Christian in his quest for knowledge, she is torn between loyalty to him, and a fierce determination to protect them. The division tears her soul and breaks her heart.
The pieces of her broken heart will start a war that can only be stopped by the death of the most powerful warrior alive by the hand of the boy who loves her.

Excerpt:
He
sprinted down the path, into the forest, leaping over huge rocks and tree roots
and through streams he couldn’t see but his magic told him were there. He had
no idea where he was going, but there seemed to be a tether from his heart to
hers — he always knew where Ada was. He ran straight to them, nearly colliding
with her father’s guards as he raced through the thick trees.
“What
happened to her?” he bellowed, jerking Ada out of Davis’s bloodstained arms.
“She
was hit, saving me,” Harrison answered. “Can you help her?”
If
there had been time, any time at all, Christian would have paused at that. How
exactly had his tiny little Ada saved the giant Harrison? But there wasn’t
time. He laid her on the thick grass, searching for the wound. But there was so
much blood.
“There!”
Davis snapped, jabbing the air above her stomach.
Flames
roiled across Christian’s hands and he held them above her, letting the flames
soothe the skin before he tried to touch it. They swirled through the air,
seeping and mending the broken, charred skin.
“Does
she breathe?” Harrison asked, crouching close to put his face next to her
mouth.
Christian
ignored him. He didn’t care if she breathed or not.
She would breathe, or he
would die with her.
“She
does.” Harrison sat back, relieved.
“Can
you not heal at all? Stop the blood flow from her shoulder!” Christian snapped.
Harrison
gaped at him. “We’re Edren. We don’t heal.”
“I’m
Carules and I can throw a lirik if need be,” Christian muttered under
his breath, but he couldn’t argue with them now.
She
moaned.
They
all froze in shock, and then redoubled their efforts. Davis jerked his shirt
off and held it to her shoulder while Christian’s blue flames leaped and danced
from his hands, fighting the poison eating through her body.
“Christian.
I knew—” she whispered as her skin healed, leaving only pink burns behind.
“Shhh.
Don’t speak. You’re still very weak.” He moved from her stomach to her
shoulder, pushing Davis’ shirt out of the way. It was stiff with dried blood
and she shrieked when he ripped it from the wound. “Forgive me, dear one,” he
whispered, his mouth near her temple, kissing the pain away. “Forgive me.”
“I
knew… you would come. I knew you… could heal me.” Her eyes fluttered open,
dazed with pain, dark orbs barely reflecting the moonlight.
“Always, Ada. Forever.”
