Lady Sara has always lived within the gilded cage of her noble title—duty before desire, marriage before love. But when a mysterious Mana Rush overwhelms her in the East Barracks, she loses control at the worst possible moment: in front of Sir Hewson, the knight who has silently carried a torch for her for over fifteen years.
What begins as an embarrassing lapse quickly unearths the truth neither dared to speak. Sara’s carefully built walls of propriety crack, and Hewson’s long-suppressed devotion rises to the surface. Bound by rank, reputation, and the threat of scandal, the two are caught between the impossible weight of their past and the dangerous pull of the present.
As the Mana Rush forces Sara to confront desires she has long denied, and Hewson to risk everything he’s sworn to protect, both must decide: will this forbidden spark be smothered by duty—or ignite a fire that changes both their lives forever?
