As her vital earth magic fades, a desperate sorceress faces an irresistible, dangerous fae offer.
Calliope, a practitioner of elemental earth magic, finds her innate abilities dangerously diminished, threatening her very connection to the natural world. Into this vulnerability steps a cunning scion of the fae courts, arriving on the tranquil Salt Spring Island. His purpose is expansion—to extend his family’s ancient dominion—but he also presents Calliope with a tempting proposition: the very power she craves, a chance to reclaim her faltering gift. This urban fantasy weaves together fading magic, fae politics, and the perilous allure of desire, forcing Calliope to weigh the cost of salvation.
This work sits firmly within the contemporary urban fantasy tradition, specifically exploring the intersection of elemental earth magic and fae politics. It reflects modern esoteric interests in nature-based spirituality while engaging with classic tropes of dangerous fae bargains.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
While the premise of diminishing earth magic promises depth, the execution may not suit readers who prefer intricate, hard-magic systems with rigorous rules. Those looking for extensive world-building or complex political maneuvering beyond the central bargain might find the scope limited. The focus remains tightly on Calliope’s internal conflict and her interaction with the fae scion, which can feel insular to some. However, for those who value emotional resonance and atmospheric tension over expansive lore, it succeeds. It is less suitable for readers demanding fast-paced action or clear-cut moral binaries in favor of nuanced, perilous allure.
