Zuri Artig was born to be admired for her beauty, wealth, and a noble name. But her voice carries no magic. Until it does. Essentia, the forgotten magic of the soul, responds not to talent but to truth. Beside her is Emric, a servant with no past, no title, and a grounding power. As political forces seek to manipulate love, and truth, Zuri must find the voice within her before it’s silenced for good. Now that Emric is a king, he can help, but will she allow him after his painful betrayal?
