  Summary

  There’s a fine line between being harassed and worshiped.

  If anyone had ever bothered asked Vani if she wanted to be a seer, the answer would have been a resounding no.

  Jaz had a similar answer when asked to head a magical guild.

  While neither had a choice, one was a punishment, and the other was an unwanted inheritance from the Old Ones. Perhaps it isn't so odd they continue to cross paths after all.

  Responsibility. Honor. Exile.

  Most importantly, what the hell is Jaz supposed to do? He's good with magic. He likes books, but-what do you do when a woman likes you but you're a socially awkward magical nerd? He doesn't know she can read his mind either and adores the awkwardness.

  Full summary in author's note chapter 1.
