Coven of Hidden Keys

Some betrayals can be forgiven. Others ignite wars.

Lena Dain swore she was done trusting Anthony Rochefort. The last time she let him in, he shattered her trust—and nearly got her killed. Now, she’s rebuilding, salvaging what remains of her dream to free magic from the Council’s grip. But the ley lines aren’t stable, and something—or someone—is tearing them apart from the inside.

Anthony Rochefort has spent months trying to repair the damage he caused. Bound to the Mirror of Veils, his magic is unraveling along with the city itself. He never expected Lena to forgive him. But when the ley line surges grow dangerous enough to threaten Starbridge’s foundations, he knows there’s only one person who can stop it. Even if it means facing her wrath.

When an exiled scholar unveils a shocking truth—that the Seals stabilizing Starbridge’s magic are not just barriers, but gateways to an ancient realm—Lena and Anthony must team up to uncover the forces behind the city’s unmaking. Old enemies resurface. New betrayals lurk beneath fragile alliances. And amidst it all, the fire between them refuses to die.

She vowed never to trust him again. He swore to protect her, even if she never forgives him. But with the fate of Starbridge hanging in the balance, will their uneasy truce hold—or will it destroy them both?
