In a land where Dragons are revered like Gods, a witch and her Guards must risk it all.

Witches in Ampara Deicra are made to attune and attend to the emotions of others while suppressing their own—none more so than Tasch, the Grand Imperial Witch. Born an Anomaly, she possesses the strongest of emotion-influencing magic, which the Emperor desires and values above all others. She is entrapped into his servitude, charged with the task of maintaining his power—by managing his temper. In an attempt for further control, the Emperor assigns five sorcerers as Tasch’s Imperial Guards. As Anomalies all wielding the strongest magic of their individual forms, a covert alliance is forged in the hopes that with the aid of their bonded Dragons, one day, every citizen will be freed.

One sorcerer changes everything.

Varic’s magic surpasses that of Tasch’s Lead Guard, infuriating the Emperor. Forced to serve in the Imperial Army, he is commanded to strengthen his power unnaturally until he loses control, resulting in the worst magical catastrophe in history.

Consumed by grief and despair, the Emperor believes Varic’s only hope for rehabilitation lies in Tasch’s magic. Away from the Emperor's eye, the two forge a strong connection—healing through love as they fall for each other. A love so forbidden, its discovery would prove fatal.

Oppression forms unbreakable bonds.

As bordering lands escalate their attacks upon the Imperial Palace and resources which the Emperor hoards are drained, Varic is appointed over Tasch’s detail—increasing their need to hide not only their feelings for each other, but signs that Tasch’s magic is fading. Tensions culminate when citizens demand the naming of an heir, a prospect which the Emperor refuses in his belief that the Imperial Grand Philosopher is on the cusp of a discovery; the secret to immortality.

Love, power, and magic collide, as the race to save Tasch from the Emperor’s clutches becomes more dire than ever.

Dragonfall meets Anathema, and A Discovery of Witches in the first of this dark fantasy, forbidden romance series between Tasch, a witch whose magic is fading, and Varic, the sorcerer she saved years before, who is desperate to return the favor.
