For centuries, the gods have chosen a king from the order of priests who dedicate their lives to serving them. So when the gods choose Ethyr to be king, a peasant farmer from the farthest edge of the kingdom, it upends his life without warning and thrusts him into a world that is the opposite of everything he’s ever known: spoiled with luxury and riches beyond his wildest imaginings, but trapped in a gilded cage of obligation. As Ethyr does his best to please the gods and understand the society he’s been forced into, he begins to realize there is more to the gods’ choice than hedonistic preference. Now he must navigate the treachery and deception of slippery palace politics, all while trying to unravel the enigmatic motives of the gods who made him king.

When NSA quantum genius Finn Miller goes on the run after stealing proof of a global government surveillance conspiracy, he collides with Elara, a priestess from another dimension who has been magically enslaved to deliver the world's most powerful technomancer to a chaos mage intent on merging technology with ancient magic to control all realms. Though Elara fears her growing feelings for Finn are manufactured by the curse, the two forge a genuine partnership — she teaching him that magic and quantum mechanics are the same force, he helping her resist the spell's compulsion — while simultaneously exposing corruption on Earth and navigating the dimensional politics of Elysia. When the geas finally drags them both to the Realm of Shadows, Finn and Elara confront Malachi directly: Elara facing the mage who enslaved and violated her while Finn turns the chaos sea's own quantum energy against him. Elara's act of facing her tormentor breaks the curse at last, Malachi is cast through an unstable portal to Earth's Indian Ocean, and Finn and Elara return to the Moon Goddess temple — fugitive and priestess now partners in both worlds — as the government conspiracy begins to unravel and a dangerous sorcerer starts adapting his powers to a new world. If The Magicians and Snowden fell through a portal together, they'd land here: a fugitive NSA genius and a magically enslaved priestess discovering that quantum physics and ancient magic are two names for the same truth — and that the most dangerous enemy isn't the chaos mage trying to rule every dimension. It's the question neither of them can answer: Can you love freely when your soul belongs to someone else?
