A Fallen boy with hidden talent. A goddess imprisoned for her sins. A psychic bond that defies fate. Chen Yi is nobody-a twenty-one-year-old mage from the lower realm with no divine patron, destined for expulsion and a life of baking bread. Tiya is everything-a Fallen Witch, Elemental Master, and the most dangerous woman in the world. Chained in a prison built for one, she's been waiting five years for the boy she abandoned to become the man she needs. When the Council offers her freedom in exchange for claiming him, she refuses. But when she sees what he's become-someone who'd rather embrace madness than surrender his dreams-she realizes her goddess arrived far too late. *I, Tiya Apfel, officially apologize for my arrogance.* *I'm sorry. Your goddess... came late.*
