About the Book
The storm is gone.
The breaking has begun.
Some cages are built of comfort. Alara learns this the moment she wakes at A’kosh Na, fed, flattered, and never free, a girl too valuable to release and too dangerous to trust. Around her, magisters trade smiles like knives. Beyond the walls, a world she barely understands tilts toward her from every direction: the ones who would save her and the ones who would use her, indistinguishable until it is far too late to tell.
But buried beneath the city is something older than the order that rules it: a vault that knows her, that opens to the magic in her blood, that offers the one thing no captor will give. Knowledge. And knowledge, she discovers, is the first form of freedom.
What she does with it draws every grasping hand toward one fragile seam, proving that when too many people want one girl, the wanting can break a world.
RiftBound is an epic tale of longing, betrayal, and what breaks when everyone pulls at once.
