Defiance of Shadows

In a city ruled by the Authority, silence means survival. Men wield magic and women hold Intuition, a divide that splits the city in half. But when a girl is born, gifted with magic, a revolution is bound to happen.

Jade rebels against the strict rules, driven by her own truth and questions, but when she uncovers secrets buried deep within the city’s walls, she is thrust into a dangerous struggle against forces far greater than herself.

As old gods are unmasked and alliances fracture, Jade discovers that the fight for freedom carries a price, and sometimes survival means facing the truth hidden within.
