About this audiobook

Elowen never asked to become Aetherborn. One impossible spark of soul magic is enough to turn her ordinary life into a sentence, and the man sent to collect her makes it clear that survival will come with a price. Kael is an Ascendant trained by a brutal academy that turns gifted people into weapons. He is sharp-tongued, dangerous, and far too familiar with what happens to students who fail. Some lose their freedom. Some lose their souls. Others become obedient Wraiths, emptied of everything that once made them human. Elowen should hate the man who drags her into that world, yet Kael repeatedly risks more than he should to keep her alive. Beneath his cold discipline is a secret that is consuming him from within. The same magic the academy celebrates is corrupting him, and the darkness in his veins is getting harder to hide. As Elowen learns to manipulate souls, she discovers her power can reach Kael in ways no training ever prepared them for. Their connection becomes a forbidden tether, one that offers hope while threatening to accelerate the very transformation they fear. The academy's leaders are not interested in saving damaged students. They want control, obedience, and a new generation of weapons powerful enough to reshape Eldoria. When rebellion begins to stir and Kael becomes a target, Elowen must choose whether to follow the rules that might keep her alive or trust the bond everyone insists will destroy them both. In a place built to hollow people out, love may be the most dangerous form of defiance.
