The Convergence: Broken Magic

by Richard French

About The Book

When reality fractures, forbidden love becomes the key to everything.
The Federation taught Samantha Reed that magic comes in two opposing forces—golden Luminor light and dark Tenebral shadow—that must never unite. But her former Academy partner Connor Blake has discovered the devastating truth: magic was whole once, artificially split centuries ago to maintain control. Now she has orders to eliminate the rebel he's become, even as reality itself begins to fracture around their confrontation. Some truths are too dangerous to live—and some connections too powerful to die.

Seven years ago, they were Academy partners pushing the boundaries of magical theory. Their research had achieved impossible results, their powers harmonizing in ways that defied Federation doctrine. Then Connor vanished overnight, branded a traitor, leaving Samantha with stolen memories and a promotion to Federation Enforcer. She's spent years believing he betrayed everything they built together.

Now Connor leads a rebellion that threatens the very foundations of civilization. Reality storms tear through populated sectors as he uses forbidden unified magic to expose the Federation's lies. But Samantha's pursuit mission becomes something far more dangerous when she discovers the truth: their connection was never coincidence. They are living echoes of souls split apart by the same cataclysm that shattered magic itself—and the Federation will kill anyone who remembers what was lost.

As the mysterious Convergence approaches and existence itself begins to break down, Samantha must choose between the loyalty that defines her and the love that could heal everything. Because Connor isn't just fighting for rebellion—he's fighting to restore what was stolen from the universe itself. And the only power strong enough to heal centuries of artificial separation might be the bond between two souls who were meant to be one. But some acts of healing demand the ultimate price—and some love transcends even the boundaries of existence itself.

Perfect for readers who loved The Ten Thousand Doors of January, Shadow and Bone, and Red Queen.
