Where Reason Ends

Elara has spent her life cataloguing every last scrap of knowledge in the Conclave’s vaulted Archive—until she uncovers evidence of a power long thought wild magic. Branded a heretic, she flees the gray citadel and its unyielding laws, only to find herself pursued by Inquisitor Varos, a merciless enforcer whose logic-driven zeal leaves no room for mercy.

In the shadowy wilderness beyond the city walls, Elara crosses paths with Cassian, a rebel envoy who believes magic can ignite the spark of revolution. Together they delve into ruined temples and bioluminescent valleys, seeking the fabled Grimoire of Binding and the guidance of Oriana, the reclusive sorceress who alone understands the true cost of wielding magic.

As factional intrigue within the underground resistance deepens—and Varos’s hunt grows ever more relentless—Elara must decide whether to trust Cassian’s revolutionary fire or guard the unpredictable power she barely comprehends. Their journey culminates beneath the crystal heart of the Chimera array, where the boundaries between reason and magic collapse—and the fate of two worlds hangs in the balance.
