When Wisterly escapes her lord’s service, she can't stay visible for long. Her silver collar marks her as an Acolyte. If the guards see her, they'll drag her back—and she’d rather not discover what punishment awaits.
Desperate and hunted, she runs into Mordred, a Guild thief with his own troubles. He offers to help after one last job: stealing the Box of Pathways, a divine Artifact only the godblooded can handle without going mad. With few other choices, Wisterly accepts.
But some treasures are better left alone. When she touches the Box, something wakes inside and takes control. Even worse, the heist goes sideways, leaving them hunted by the Grand Council and the Guild alike.
Now Wisterly and Mordred are fugitives with a capricious power. To stay free, they must outwit their pursuers and discover if the Box will save them—or destroy them both.
This one had such a strong premise. The idea of godblooded people marked by silver collars and forced into obedience immediately grabbed my attention. There’s a lot of tension from the start, especially with Wisterly on the run and desperate to stay free.
The dynamic between her and Mordred adds some solid intrigue, and the divine artifact concept brings an interesting layer of danger and unpredictability to the story. The world feels dark and heavy with power struggles, which I appreciated.
