When Lilith Hale accidentally awakens a forbidden surge of magic, she becomes something the hidden witch society calls a Conduit—rare, powerful, and dangerously unstable. Hunted by a ruthless government agency known as the Bureau and stalked across realms by an ancient magical hunter designed to track witches like her, Lilith is forced into hiding beneath the city—and under the relentless protection of Julian, a shadow-wielding wizard bound to her by a volatile magical tether. Lilith must decide whether to suppress the force awakening within… or embrace it and risk becoming more dangerous than the enemies hunting her.
