I, who knows everything end up knowing very little

In a magic-choked metropolis ruled by cutthroat noble houses, Nicholas Vance is the ultimate puppeteer. Armed with a transcendent intellect and a mind that calculates human behavior like a chess engine, he has spent years orchestrating the slow, mathematical ruin of the rival Solis Dynasty. He knows every secret, projects every outcome, and manipulates kings like pawns. But the calculations shatter when he meets Lyra Solis, the brilliant, unpredictable daughter of his sworn enemy. Forced into close proximity, Nicholas finds his flawless logic failing against her chaotic, genuine nature. For the first time, he cannot predict his own heart. As a catastrophic arcane conspiracy threatens to consume both their houses, Nicholas is forced to play a desperate double game. To save Lyra, he must sabotage his own master plans, realizing too late that in a world of absolute logic, love is the one variable he can neither calculate nor control.
