The Mage Gathering may be over... but the mages of Elementia are just beginning to face the aftermath.Lord Lucian of House Lumen has always been everything a prince should be-composed, elegant, perfectly in control.Except for the volatile element sealed beneath his skin, the one that should not exist at all...and the feelings he's spent years suppressing for the girl who calms the storm inside him.Lucian has hidden his true self from nearly everyone-everyone except his closest friends, his family... but most especially, Hyacinth.But when she returns from a mysterious illness that nearly took her life, he realizes he can no longer keep his heart-or his lightning-in the dark.Now he must choose: risk everything for a love he was never meant to claim... or burn away with the power he can no longer contain. Hyacinth is still reeling: from heartbreak, from the illness that left her shaken, and from the unraveling of everything she thought she knew about her past.Just when she and Lucian were finally growing closer, he begins to pull away-or is it that she's finally seeing him clearly?To move forward, she must face a new truth: the feelings she's buried for him are awakening and admitting them may change not only her future... but everything she believed about who she is.When lightning reveals, secrets ignite-and two hearts must decide whether to trust the spark... or fear the fire.
