Egan

This wasn't the way it was supposed to go.

Ami thought the Dali family would thank her for her help with the curse and she would continue training her cover. Unfortunately, they had other plans. As she carefully navigates Rascal politics, rumors start spreading from the Nobles to the military forts about her true nature and deadly capabilities. With her hard-won reputation as a competent captain hanging in the balance, Ami fights battles on multiple fronts-facing political intrigue, military suspicion, and the ever-present threat of deportation.

But Ami's troubles run deeper than gossip. Egan has been tasked with bringing her to the Shadow Realm, his loyalty to his master conflicting with his attachment to her. Meanwhile, Blaine's desperation reaches dangerous heights as he allies himself with witches to force Ami back through binding magic. Between witch impersonators, Centaur alliances, and the shadow of her mysterious past in Vinci, some decisions can't be avoided forever.

Can Ami stop the rumors while maintaining her reputation and freedom, or will she have to make a hard decision that will decide her fate once and for all?
