Synopsis

Need flows like water, but is it enough?A girl and a boy sit, need pulling in their chest. One is more pointed than the other, but need pours through both, that need to create, to change, to magic oneself to where they want to be. Need is what shapes the theurgies that dart around Lansia, concentrated most strongly in Kingswood, where Kinds Academy and the future of theurgy lies. Only the elite can use magic and among those that practice, there is a pecking order. Rei is rising through her schooling, learning her magic, spending time with friends and family until a boy changes her world forever. Lydan is that boy, from a working-class family who has found his way into theurgy, against the law. Together, Rei and Lydan must fight for their lives against the deathly power of the king's people. As they run for their lives, feelings shift, families are at odds, and opposing forces must come together.
