Magic has made the city of Tiran an industrial utopia, but magic has a cost—and the collectors have come calling. Sciona, orphaned at four, defies odds in Tiran, a city of industrial magic. For twenty years, she strives to be the first woman in the High Magistry. Elevated to highmage, she faces hostility, given a janitor, Thomil, once a nomadic hunter. He seeks answers from the mages who repelled him years ago. Their uneasy alliance uncovers an ancient secret potent enough to reshape magic itself, but unveiling it risks their lives. Sciona, driven by truth, must weigh the cost: how much is one truth worth when it could alter their civilization's destiny? A standalone dark academia brimming with mystery, tragedy, and the damning echoes of the past.

The recommended brew:

Indulge in a dark roasted coffee bean, crafted for an intense and smokey experience that awakens the senses. Pairing a robust coffee with "Sciona" enriches the reading experience. As she navigates Tiran's industrial magic, her journey mirrors the coffee's deep flavors. The intense brew parallels her challenges breaking into the High Magistry, resonating with themes of uncovering secrets and defying norms. Perfect for readers immersed in a tale of ambition, intrigue, and ancient mysteries, where every sip and page turn uncovers new depths.
