Forgotten Ties

We survived the siege. We survived the truth. But now we have to survive each other.

I’m Asha Lopez. I’ve gone from arcane soldier to fugitive to… whatever I am now. I thought admitting my feelings for Leylandir was the finish line, but it was just another starting gun.

We’re alive, but we aren’t whole. The magical burnout that nearly killed him has left scars on us both. Now, the bond that was supposed to be our strength has become a minefield. We’re walking a razor’s edge, and while we are partners in every sense of the word, we stand on opposite sides of an invisible wall neither of us knows how to break down.

But the multiverse doesn't pause for broken hearts.

To understand the gates and decide whether to lock them forever or tear them wide open, we need answers only one Elf can provide. Answers that are currently locked inside a fortress under close scrutiny by the Elven Council.

We have to go back to Eldarëon. We have to steal a high-value target from right under the Council’s nose. And to pull off the heist of the century, I have to trust that Leylandir and I can face what’s ahead of us side by side.

Trust requires surrender. I just don't know if I have anything left to give.

The fourth explosive installment in The War for Magic series. A gritty military fantasy heist with a slow-burn romance that battles through trauma, political intrigue, and the highest stakes yet.
