Kora has always been different.Born into privilege and power, Kora has always struggled with the way her people use their magic. She hates how casually they manipulate emotions with a brush of skin against skin, and that’s just those who mean no harm. Kora wants to change the world she lives in, but is powerless to do so.After tragedy rips her family apart, Kora begins to think that no one else feels the way she does, that no one understands.And then she finds it: her great-aunt’s journal. Buried in those pages she finds a kindred spirit, a map, and a prophecy.Now Kora has to make a choice.

The children of Paradise have found their place in Illaria, but are paying a heavy price for their freedom.

Rilla’s increasingly unstable power puts her in constant danger. Arishen lives in fear of lintep violating his mind and rummaging through his most horrific visions. Plyke and Tika seem to be coping with their new lives, but the competing demands of family, rank and work are slowly but surely forcing them apart.

With Lishe growing ever stronger, and the prophecy in play, Rilla and her friends must gather their courage and face their greatest fear.

The time has come for them to go home.

Three years after his life was shattered by the disappearance of his beloved companion, Telchide Inventore has a difficult decision to make.

Aveline, a fellow inventor, has offered him the opportunity of a lifetime: join her on an expedition to Sentigura Caldera. She is in search of a plant rumoured to have a shocking power that, if harnessed safely, could revolutionise power sources for their city of Tor''Esint and break the stranglehold of the ruthless Mercantili Guild. 

Telchide could stay safe at home and lose himself in music boxes and pocket watches, scrabbling for the funds and time to create a new Great Work to advance him in the Guild and secure his family''s future.

Or he could risk not only orphaning his daughter on what could be a fool''s errand, but also his heart - because Aveline is brilliant and brave, and Telchide can''t help being drawn to her.

Can their blossoming relationship withstand the dangers of the Caldera and the haunting memories of his lost companion?

The Paradisians have finally reached Illaria, but the ancient lintep stronghold is not the sanctuary it was made out to be. Rilla and Plyke may have found a new family, but they quickly discover that their human companions are less than welcome. 

However, convincing the Illarian Council of Masters to allow Arishen and Tika to stay will be the least of the Paradisians’ problems, as Plyke struggles to control his newly discovered powers and Rilla endeavours to escape her heritage.

Eliséo no longer by her side, Rilla must learn to control her powers without the aid of Elessa. Should the connection to her Silvaren allies become known, more than Rilla’s life will be at risk. With her half sister already in the clutches of the rogue lintep, Lishe, Rilla must learn everything she can of her history and the prophecy surrounding her before Lishe hunts her down.
