Lady Lyriana Batavia is third in line to the throne of Bamaria. Lear is nineteen and plans to become a magician, a position that brings her wealth and privilege but not security. Bamariya is subject to the strict laws of the Emperor of the Lumerian Empire, who decides what magic is allowed and what should be prohibited, and its owners are executed. It is because of the forbidden ability to see the future that Lear's cousin dies. For many years, Lear protects his sisters, helping them hide illegal magic. But her own power-revelation ceremony brings a shocking surprise. Lear faces expulsion from the empire, and in order not to leave her family, she agrees to undergo harsh training as a warrior and cope with the test of strength that the emperor arranges. But, training under the guidance of Lord Ryan Hart, with whom she has been secretly in love since childhood, a formidable warrior in exiled, with whom she is forbidden, Lear risks losing much more than her family, country and life. Conspiratorial forces and an army of conquerors are causing chaos in Bamariya, and her family's secrets threaten to be revealed. Perhaps, to survive combat training and save sisters, Lear will have to sacrifice his heart.
