She was powerless.
Now her spirit is bound to the most deadly student in the five kingdoms.

Magic is prestige at Arcanis Academy—and those without power are nothing. Elira Thorne shows up at the gates as a joke, a mistake, a crestdless girl with no spark of magic in her blood.

But during the academy's magical Power Awakening, something goes horribly awry.

A forbidden mark blazes on her chest. The skies tremble. And a feared voice utters:

"The Soul-Bond has awakened."

In front of the whole academy, she is claimed by Kael Valen—the cold, unyielding Void Prince, wielder of dark magic and heir to a kingdom that was ravaged.

Now, their souls are tied.
Their fates entwined.
And their bond can be the difference between an ancient prophecy that has the magical world reduced to ashes.

But power always costs something.
As Kael's enemies draw near, and Elira's magic begins to awake in terrible forms, one thing is for certain:

She wasn't picked by accident.
She was picked for war.
