Deubrise is a land blessed by the breath of the slumbering gods. Magíq lives within nature, powerful and beautiful. Few else can harness it besides the gryphons that reside in the mountains near Nico De Falco’s home, and the rare magíqon like Nico’s little sister. But magíqon are shunned and feared by modern society.

 

To protect himself from such treatment, Dr. Ackerleigh Sebring keeps his magíq a secret. Yet his “radical” teachings of magíqal history gets him fired from Ravensbourne University. Desperate, he finds a gamekeeper job caring for an imprisoned gryphon. Finally, he can be his whole self.

 

That is, until Nico follows a misguided impulse and frees the gryphon, injuring Ackerleigh accidentally.

 

Their fates—and feelings—become entangled in their determination to protect the sacred magíq of the gryphon. Ackerleigh and Nico will stop at nothing for the sake of liberation.

“I didn’t hear the beast emerge… but the air changed. Condensed, grew more humid. The fragrance of the magnolia blossoms intensified. I tried not to stammer as I stole a glance up.The moon-eyes hung over a beak so sharp it may as well have been cut straight out of an obsidian mine. All the creature’s avian features were black as midnight, including their scaled forelegs beneath wispy, trouser-like filoplume. Both front feet were talons with three forward-facing claws and an opposable thumb. Each talon was big enough to crush my head like an apple if that was their desire.My jaw went slack. “You’re a gryphon!”
