Following the explosive events of Book 1, this second installment plunges us deeper into a world where magic burns like wildfire and attraction can be just as deadly as the monsters lurking in the dark.

What to expect:

• Enemies-to-lovers slow burn

• Morally grey characters

• Found family dynamics

• Steamy supernatural romance

• Political intrigue

• Dark fantasy elements

• LGBTQ+ representation

• Themes of healing and redemption

🌙 ARCs will be delivered through BookFunnel

📚 Release Date: March 20th 2025
