A searing and romantic fantasy about an oligarchic state on the verge of a magical industrial revolution. Perfect for fans of Arcane, Wicked, and Iron Widow.

Josephine Haven is a pupil at the House of Industry, the school for those who can wield radiance, an electricity-like magic. Banished for her fiery outbursts and sent to a remote Mission, she must learn to work with standoffish Julian and flirtatious Ezra.

Meanwhile, a deadly disease is spreading across the countryside, and not everyone is eager to embrace Progress. As Josephine questions the systems that raised her – and gives in to suppressed desire – she must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to expose the truth.
