The Story:
Remy Reid is the city's most celebrated prison-master, a magical prodigy who's built an empire on being the best. Bella Blythe is a legacy magician with lattice magic skills that could rival anyone—especially Remy. For ten years, they've competed, sabotaged, and secretly wanted each other. One stolen kiss during their apprenticeship changed everything, but neither will admit it.
Now, forced to partner in the prestigious Runic Games, these brilliant rivals must work together while harbouring dangerous secrets. As challenges test their magical prowess and their self-control, the competition becomes about more than winning—it's about trust, desire, and choosing between ambition and love.
