This Brilliant Void: The Riftwalker Duet #1

"This isn't love. This is obsession. This is addiction, devotion, zealotry, and madness. This is ferocity and sacrifice. This is nothing so paltry or common as the feeling most people call love ." In the Five Worlds, magic is wealth--and Anouette alone possesses an endless supply she cannot wield. Bound by law to the Crown Prince of her home world, she risks everything at Caerdroia, a training institute of magical learning, to reclaim her power through forbidden study. Her defiance pits her against Soren, who is heir to a blood-soaked legacy and sworn to end her life. Tasked with killing her by the most powerful man in all the worlds, Soren is ensnared by their volatile attraction. Sparks fly amid the danger, forcing them to choose between duty, freedom, and actions that could shatter the Five Worlds.
