Dreams of a Fragmented Spirit*
In a world where only women may use magic, a governing council wields excessive authority. To control aristocratic bloodlines, they prohibit gender-shifting for nobles and limit who can use magic. Those seeking change work to bring about revolution, as their adversaries fight to stay in power. Meanwhile, those inspiring these changes struggle to piece together their fragmented lives.

Have you ever dreamed about reinventing yourself?
Dearal didn’t receive the name at birth, but it serves as a poignant symbol of their autonomy.
Kidnapped from their homeland, Dearal escapes and starts anew. They reject their parent’s agenda, conceal their magic, choose a life fostered to a farrier, and shift genders.
Now they control the direction their life takes.
Risk still lurks, as more than just their kidnappers hunt for them. The formidable Spirit Council that regulates the use of magic will stem their powers or reverse their eadarshift if they discover Dearal’s origins.
They’re unsure which to dread more.
Dearal’s growing friendship with Galen, a young nobleman, forces them to confront their past and a host of emotions, putting their new identity in peril.
Is it truly freedom if one must hide who they are to achieve it?
