Vespertine

One planet sometimes seems too small for both sorcerers and mortals, and the road to revolution is never easy, for either side. As Quinn Vespertine and Caiden Riis are about to find out. In the seven cities of Varcuria, sorcerers and mortals live side-by-side. For years, however, the sorcerers have oppressed the ungifted mortals. But discontent has long been brewing under the surface, and war is not far away. Salvatore Vespertine, the leader of a underground mortal rebellion, the V’s, delegates assassinations and missions in order to undermine the government. And Quinn Vespertine, his younger sister, is on her way to following his footsteps. Since the death of their parents, two years prior, Quinn has trusted Salvatore with everything. But Salvatore hasn’t always told her everything, and when he’s suddenly killed by the government, his secrets begin to come to light. Caiden Riis is a sorcerer, but he’s imprisoned in his own way. He’s been kept as an asset to the police department for years, due to his powerful abilities that seem to defy the rules of magic. He can be used for battles, for assassinations, for interrogations—except for one problem. He really, really doesn’t like conflict. Through betrayals of both their loved ones, Quinn and Caiden become unlikely allies in the face of an imminent magic flux field reversal, the first in 100,000 years.
