Beyond the Rift

Across the centuries, the Nikari, a race of vicious elemental mages,

have built an empire, bringing an entire continent to its knees. The

course of history seems set... until one innocent Andari mage changes

everything and claims a greater prize—the heart of the Nikari emperor.

Behnivyr

‘Ivy’ Erethe knows his duty is to wed another Andari Pure-Blood.

Craving one moment of freedom before his loveless bonding, he escapes

his father’s suffocating protection and goes to a masquerade ball, only

to unexpectedly meet a mysterious Nikari named Kris. Kris makes Ivy ache

with a need he barely dares to acknowledge. One kiss, one dance—and

Ivy’s life changes forever. Unbeknownst to Ivy, Kris is actually

Kristelien Fezenda, the Nikari emperor. Forced to make a difficult

choice, Ivy picks love over duty and becomes Kris’s concubine.

Poorly

prepared for the whirlwind of emotion Ivy summons inside him, Kris now

faces the hardest battle of his life. In a ruthless world where all

weakness is exploited, where allies become enemies in the blink of an

eye, where love can mean death, he will have to defeat more than his own

personal demons to breach the rift between him and Ivy.
