Sensing a way to make change, Noam accepts the ministerâs offer to teach him the science behind his magic, secretly planning to use it against the government. But then he meets the ministerâs sonâcruel, dangerous, and achingly beautifulâand the way forward becomes less clear.Caught between his purpose and his heart, Noam must decide who he can trust and how far heâs willing to go in pursuit of the greater good.
