Perfect for you if...

You enjoy atmospheric fantasy with real emotional weight, where magic has genuine costs and characters actually struggle with those consequences.
You're drawn to slow-burn romance with genuine tension, especially when the chemistry sizzles between people who have legitimate reasons not to trust each other.
You appreciate stories about sisterhood and family secrets that feel messy and complicated rather than neatly resolved.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer high-stakes action and world-hopping adventure over intimate character studies set in small towns.
You want a standalone novel, as this is book one of a duology and ends on unresolved threads.
You're looking for morally grey villains or dark academia vibes. This is warmer and more grounded in emotional stakes.

About this book

In the small town of Gold Springs, Calliope Petridi and her two sisters keep their magic hidden, knowing that practicing it requires a steep price: memories. Calliope welcomes this cost, as she wants to forget her absent mother, her growing distance from her sisters, and a heartbreak from two years prior. When a mysterious evil emerges, the sisters' fragile bond fractures and their magic begins to fade. Calliope accidentally binds herself to the leader of a rival coven known for ruthlessly pursuing power. As she battles her attraction to this man she cannot trust, Calliope must face forgotten memories, family secrets, and ancient magic to save her town and protect those she loves—while questioning what will remain of herself in the process. This is the first book in the Sisters of Light and Shadow duology.
