In the neon-lit city of Veilport, magic is no longer hidden—it’s everywhere. Shifting between the shadows of crumbling skyscrapers, the city pulses with an undercurrent of power: from the corporate moguls who control the markets with enchanted tech to the underground rebels who use ancient spells to fight for freedom. But magic is a dangerous currency, and there are laws in place to keep it in check. Ava Nyx is a “finder”—a person who can locate anything or anyone, as long as the right price is paid. She’s known for her sharp instincts and untraceable magic, which she’s learned to control since she was a kid. What no one knows is that Ava’s magic isn’t just a gift—it's a result of a secret her family’s kept hidden for generations: she is the descendant of an ancient being called a Nightbinder, a creature with the power to manipulate time itself. But in a city where time is a commodity, that's a deadly secret. Ava’s world flips upside down when she’s hired by a shadowy figure to track down a missing person—a task that leads her straight into the orbit of Thorne, a rebellious street artist with a knack for illusion magic. Thorne is unlike anyone she’s ever met—his magic is messy, unpredictable, and wild, but it calls to something inside her. What begins as a professional job quickly spirals into something more dangerous and deeply personal: a connection neither of them expected. But Thorne is hiding something of his own. He’s the leader of a faction called the Unbound, a group of rogue magicians who aim to disrupt the system that controls magic in Veilport, and he’s been using Ava’s powers in ways she doesn’t fully understand. He needs her to find something even more dangerous than her bloodline—an artifact that could either fix the fabric of time… or unravel it completely. As Ava and Thorne’s forbidden connection deepens, their lives collide with forces beyond their control. With government enforcers, rival magical factions, and a shadow from Ava’s past closing in, they must decide: can love truly survive in a city where every move is monitored, every secret is a weapon, and time itself might not be on their side? In Chasing Nightfall, magic isn’t just about spells—it’s about the choices that define who you become. And in a city full of hidden powers, the greatest danger might be the heart you choose to chase.
