Quote:Her power will kill her... if he doesn't first.
Visnatus is a story-an academy for the powerful, the privileged, the glorious elites.
Desdemona Althenia's reality is hunting for her food and magic she cannot wield.
That is until Desdemona's mother sends her to hide in Visnatus. Now faced with two options-prove herself as one of the elites or perish-Desdemona goes to extremes. Raising the attention of Lucian Aibek, a prince and future king, he offers to help hone her deadly magic. Though, this offer isn't what it seems.
Lucian has lived his entire life bound by string, always a puppet for his ruling family. There is no person he wouldn't step over to step out from beneath their thumb.
Attraction builds along with animosity, and the closer Desdemona and Lucian get, the further they pull themselves into a universal threat. As the lines of blame blur, ulterior motives become clear, and Desdemona finds herself first in a long list of targets.
