Katelynn R. Butler has been reading and dreaming up her own stories since she was a child. She procured her first library card at eight and has continued to ransack her local libraries since, reading anything she could get her hands on. She has received a Bachelor of Arts in English and a minor in Religious Studies and spends most of her days writing. Otherwise, she can be found baking, crocheting or knitting, researching vintage and historical dress, or spoiling her two rescue cats.
When the gods abandoned Eturnus, they left magic behind as a gift to the humans who had served them. The Coalition quickly seized power and filled the void. Convinced that magic was a curse, its leaders hunted, enslaved, and executed anyone who possessed the gift. Their campaign ignited a long and brutal war for the freedom of magic users.
Decades after the war ends and a new government rises, Daux Deveraux eagerly awaits her Placement. She dreams of joining the Special Operations Division, where she can protect magic users from the Coalition. Her dream comes true, but the assignment takes an unexpected turn when the legendary Zima Angelov joins her team.
Daux struggles to trust her new teammates, especially Zima, who seems determined to watch her fail. Then the unthinkable happens, and suspicion falls on Daux. Branded a traitor, she must prove her innocence before it’s too late. But with the odds stacked against her, can she trust the very people who doubt her to help clear her name? AMAZON
