The world is a book. She's the smudge of dirt they tried to erase.

In the Scriptorium, magic isn't cast—it's written. And Elara Vance is just a Scrivener, the lowest class who mops up toxic spills and hides a terrifying secret: she’s an Eraser.

She can't create magic. She can only delete it. A single touch can unmake an error, a spell, or even a person. And in a world ruled by mages who demand perfection, an editor is a capital offense.

But when her sister is poisoned by factory-grade ink, Elara is forced to take a job polishing the arena floor for the Golden Boy.

Caspian Thorne is the arrogant, hyper-privileged Heir to the Scriptorium, and he’s obsessed with proving his worth to his ruthless father. To do it, he breaks into the forbidden Vault and steals a living, breathing nightmare: The Obsidian Prince.

When Caspian’s reckless spell unleashes Malakor, a villain who steps straight out of the pages to rewrite reality, Elara has a choice:

• Save her own life and let the world crumble into chaos.

• Tackle the arrogant Lord on the marble, plunge her hand into the black ink, and embrace the terrifying power that could fade her out of existence forever.

Now framed for treason, Elara and the disgraced Prince are tethered together by a desperate, forbidden soul-bind that shares sensation, pain, and death. To save her sister and stop the Author of Chaos, they must descend into the city's underbelly and find the original manuscript—Malakor’s fatal flaw.

The problem isn't deleting the villain. It's figuring out how to finish the story without erasing each other.

"She's not a rat," Caspian said. "She's my Ward. And under University Law, a Ward cannot be imprisoned without the consent of their Guardian."

Scroll up and dive into a world where magic is ink, reality is paper, and the love interest might be trying to hold you hostage.
