Blood Currents

Some truths can unravel empires. Some loves can shatter you.
Keane Alstone has been branded a traitor. His magic twisted by corruption, his memories fractured by his uncle’s hands, he’s become the Academy’s cautionary tale. But Marigold knows better. She watched him break—now she’s fighting to help him heal. Because Keane isn’t the enemy. He’s the key to unmasking a conspiracy that could bring the magical world to its knees.

But as secrets rise from the shadows, so do forbidden desires.
Cyrus, once her enemy, has become her fire-forged shield—loyal, steady, and unshakable. Elio, the master of illusions, begins to strip away his masks, risking everything to stand at her side. And Keane’s love—tempered in pain, devotion, and hard-won trust—is the one constant she refuses to lose.
As corruption threatens to consume Wickem Academy from the inside, Marigold must decide who to trust, who to fight for—and how many pieces of her heart she’s willing to give away.

Because love never promised to be easy.
It only promised to be real.
