In the aftermath of a devastating magical war that shattered Ada Fletcher’s homeworld, she and her family have sought refuge on the low-magic Earth, living undercover to evade the watchful eyes of the Inter-World Alliance. This organization is responsible for overseeing the Passages that connect Earth to its magical neighboring realms. Ada’s life in London revolves around a mundane and unfulfilling job, where she conceals both her true identity and her forbidden magic.
However, her life takes an unexpected turn when a high-ranking Alliance official is murdered, and Ada finds herself at the center of the investigation as the prime suspect. Little did she know that her world was about to be upended once again.
Meanwhile, Kay Walker, the grandson of the Inter-World Alliance’s late founder, had anticipated a different kind of initiation into the Alliance. He expected to spend his first week hunting rogue monsters in the Passages, not entangled in a murder mystery involving his supervisor. But fate had other plans for him.
The main suspect is none other than Ada, a young woman with fierce magical abilities from a world that supposedly no longer exists. As Kay delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a series of perplexing truths, and the body count continues to rise, adding more urgency to the investigation.
Initially reluctant, Ada finds herself compelled to assist the Alliance guard who arrested her. Their reluctant partnership reveals that the Alliance possesses alarming knowledge about her homeworld and her own magic—information she herself wasn’t aware of. The situation becomes more complex as it becomes evident that others are also keeping secrets, and trusting the wrong person could have dire consequences, potentially costing Ada more than just her life.
As Ada and Kay navigate this treacherous web of deceit and danger, they must work together to uncover the truth behind the murder and the Alliance’s mysterious knowledge about Ada’s world. Their journey will not only test their resolve but also challenge their perceptions of loyalty and trust.
