Your magic belongs to the government. Your future belongs to the government. And when you turn twenty-two… your spouse is chosen for you by the government. Magic has always existed. Every person is born with a magical signature that determines everything from our abilities and temperament to our compatibility, fertility, and value to society. That’s what we’re taught, anyway. Centuries ago, the government decided uncontrolled magic was too dangerous. So they created the Harmonization Program. Their solution was simple: Control us before we could become dangerous. Marriage stopped being about love a long time ago. Now it’s about magical compatibility. By twenty-two, every citizen undergoes Alignment. We’re brought to a government facility, dressed in ceremonial white, and introduced to the person we’ve been genetically, magically, psychologically, and socially matched with. We’ve never met them. We don’t choose them. And we don’t get to say no. Because the government has already calculated our perfect future. Then comes ✨The Concordance:✨ One glass. One sip. One bond. We’re told it will feel warm. Peaceful. Natural. We’re told it allows our magic to recognize its perfect counterpart. We’re told: “You were never meant to choose. You were meant to Align.” So we drink. And when we wake up… we’re married. From there, life follows the schedule the government created for us. Twenty-three: Contribution. 💪🏼💼 We work where we’re deemed most useful. Twenty-five: Continuation. 🤰🏼🍼 We’re expected to begin producing the next generation. Thirty: The First Milestone. 📚✏️ Our children must prove they’ve learned the foundations of a proper household. Everything is monitored. Our homes are magically registered. Our signatures are tracked. Our marriages are evaluated. Our fertility is recorded. Even our emotions can be assessed through our magic. And if we fail to demonstrate Harmonization? The government can erase bonds, suppress magic, alter memories, reassign spouses, or take children. They call the worst offenders Unharmonized. 🚫 Nobody knows exactly what happens to the Unharmonized. Nobody asks. Because there is one place the government fears more than anything. The Voidance. 💀 A territory beyond the government’s borders that we’re forbidden to enter. We’re taught it’s empty. Dead. Filled with unstable magic and dangerous creatures. We’re told anyone who ventures there will never survive. Most people believe it. I used to. Until I started noticing how carefully the government avoids talking about it. How every map ends before it reaches The Voidance. How old records have been erased. How people who ask too many questions disappear. And how, sometimes, travelers whisper that there are people living beyond the borders. People who choose where they live. Who they love. What they do with their magic. People who belong to no government at all. Maybe The Voidance really is dangerous. Maybe it really is empty. Or maybe we’ve spent our entire lives being taught to fear the one place where we could finally be free. I don’t know the answer yet. But I know this: I’m twenty-two. I’ve just been Assigned a husband. And I’m already planning how to escape. My main problem? He might be the one thing I can’t leave behind.
