The Price of Spring

Fifteen years after a devastating war destroyed magic and left both sides infertile, the Khaiem emperor seeks peace through a marriage alliance. Meanwhile, Maati, a poet haunted by his past, defies tradition to train new female poets, hoping to restore the lost magical power known as 'andat'. But when another woman, Vanjit, creates a new andat that unleashes a crippling terror, Maati and the emperor's daughter, Eiah, must race against time to stop her and save their world from utter destruction.
