Kira Valen

Born in the fractured city of Meridian, where the first technological uprising shattered the old magical hierarchies, Kira Valen learned to move between shadows before she learned to walk—a necessity when your mother was a rogue mage hunted by both the new tech-enforcers and the traditional magic councils who deemed her a traitor. Orphaned at twelve after her mother's disappearance into a spatial rift, Kira threw herself into anomaly hunting as both profession and obsession, mastering shadow magic with a ferocity that earned her legendary status and a reputation for recklessness that made her untouchable among her peers. Her greatest rival, the methodical and politically-connected Marcus Thorne, has spent years outmaneuvering her through official channels, building alliances while Kira worked alone in the dark spaces between worlds, and their mutual disdain became the stuff of hunter legends. When a catastrophic anomaly begins destabilizing the delicate truce between the magic and technology factions—threatening to collapse the barrier that keeps them from consuming each other—both the councils and corporations demand the impossible: that Kira and Marcus work together or watch civilization tear itself apart. Forced into an uneasy partnership with the one person who understands her methods well enough to predict and counter them, Kira discovers that Marcus may know more about her mother's disappearance than he's ever revealed, transforming their rivalry into something far more dangerous and personal than either of them anticipated.
