What happens if a stolen miracle is actually a dangerous curse?
Lena is willing to cheat the system for the power to save her sister, but must decide if her own humanity is a price worth paying. She'd say the risk would always be worth it, but her life is upended when she discovers a drug that the nobility have been using all along to enhance their magic. If she's willing to risk using it, the power she's always sought is within reach. But when a forbidden love sparks and she discovers her own magical identity is a lie, she must decide who she will trust – the man she may love with too many secrets or a charming royal who promises to save her sister if she secures his rule – and what she will risk, as her own humanity emerges as the cost of the power she could wield.

The eldest daughter of the Khan of the Qaradagh Mountains in 1905 Persia, an unconventional childhood prepared her for a life unbeholden to the strict societal expectations of the era.

Her father, fearing unrest, wants to arrange her marriage to secure her safety. As the walls of expectation close around Nooshafarin, she is forced to decide what she will sacrifice, and who she will choose to be, in a country boiling into war.
