Deubrise is a land blessed by the breath of the slumbering gods. Mag?q lives within nature, powerful and beautiful. Few else can harness it besides the gryphons that reside in the mountains near Nico De Falco's home, and the rare mag?qon like Nico's little sister. But mag?qon are shunned and feared by modern society.
To protect himself from such treatment, Dr. Ackerleigh Sebring keeps his mag?q a secret. Yet his "radical" teachings of mag?qal history gets him fired from Ravensbourne University. Desperate, he finds a gamekeeper job caring for an imprisoned gryphon. Finally, he can be his whole self.
That is, until Nico follows a misguided impulse and frees the gryphon, injuring Ackerleigh accidentally.
Their fates-and feelings-become entangled in their determination to protect the sacred mag?q of the gryphon. Ackerleigh and Nico will stop at nothing for the sake of liberation.
