Description
In the forbidden city of Wisteria, innovation is a dangerous magic: every invention—art, music, engineering—summons a demon from the other side, and the more ambitious the creation, the more catastrophic the threat. Aurelie Blake has learned to survive by making only small, controllable inventions, but her restless ambition and growing defiance hint that she’s meant for something far greater than survival. When Destrier, a hunter haunted by the demons that killed his parents, crosses paths with Aurelie, their mission to prevent senseless slaughter collides with a mysterious offer that promises an impossible breakthrough. As their choices ignite a chain of events that could reshape Wisteria itself, a fierce enemies-to-lovers bond forms amid escalating supernatural stakes and high-concept worldbuilding. Blending sharp romance tension with inventive, rule-driven fantasy, this story explores the cost of creativity, the ethics of power, and what it means to outgrow the boundaries that were built to contain you.
