Jovana Stafford, a determined alchemist, risked everything to save her brother with a bluish potion of unpredictable power called Serendipity. The Duke Of Veridian, Caspian Clifford, the kingdom's most formidable force, was tasked with finding the creator of Serendipity. 

When their worlds intertwined at a debutante ball, an undeniable attraction sparked between them, and their meeting became a clandestine affair.
