Nineteen-year-old Nessa Thorne expects death when she volunteers for Empire's selection. Instead, she's thrust into Confluence Academy, where students harness elemental magic and bond powerful beasts—from wolves to ancient dragons—forging themselves into the Empire's most lethal weapons.
Students are branded by water, air, earth, or fire. But Nessa’s mark is different. A silver spiral—the mark of an unbound. It’s a power so dangerous her kind were hunted to extinction centuries ago—or so the Empire claims.

Reader Reviews
The imaginative detail in this story played out like a movie in my mind. I couldn’t put this book down and was hooked from page 1. Never a dull moment full of darkness and danger, wondrous magic, friendship in the face of death, and a surprising love that enables you to keep fighting on your darkest day. (And guys, when the steam finally hits(literally), it’s 🔥🔥).

Absolutely loved this book! If you enjoyed Fourth Wing, Zodiac Academy and other books similar… add this to your TBR stat!!! It is sooo good! The world building, found family, magical animal companions and slow-burn love angst is sooo good! I cannot recommend this book enough!
