Daniel Hart barely has enough magic to qualify as a student at the University of Arcane Studies. He's not trying to change the world; all he wants is to study, work his job at the museum, and enjoy his calm, routine life. Everything changes when he meets Rhys Daveth, a shifter with mysterious connections and even stranger taste, who pursues him with a passion that Daniel has never experienced before. The chemistry between them is undeniable, but things take a turn for the worse when Daniel is arrested for a crime he didn't commit—one that he suspects his new lover had a hand in. Once the truth comes out, Daniel will have to choose between the steady, reliable future he's always seen for himself and something deeper, more exciting, and far more dangerous than he could have imagined.
