Three centuries of absolute, cold discipline have made Izan Sulien the perfect weapon for the Cinder Flight. As an Enforcer who doesn't just burn his enemies but unmakes their very existence, he has successfully caged the predator within to maintain a fragile order in a city of fire. He is a creature of volcanic wrath who has never known a distraction—until he finds a witch in a blood-stained basement and realizes that the only thing more dangerous than the war he’s fighting is the primal urge to possess her.
Alerie Narayan is a master of escape and a student of scars, a Vireth witch who can sever the magical bonds that keep empires enslaved. She has spent a lifetime being a "useful tool" for cruel masters, but no cage has ever been as terrifying—or as intoxicating—as Izan’s obsidian stronghold. One "touch her and die" decree later, Alerie understands the terrifying math of her survival. She isn't Izan’s guest; she is his obsession—a predator who treats her scars as his personal injuries and her very breath as his property.
A tyrant’s trap is closing, and the only way out is a lethal alliance between a man who unmakes and a woman who severs. But in the airless heat of the stronghold, Izan has traded his badge for a brand. His protection is no longer a shield—it is a siege. As his iron restraint shatters into an all-consuming need, they must decide if they are each other's ultimate sanctuary or a fire that will leave only ash behind.
Reader's Note:This is a post-apocalyptic, dark paranormal fantasy romance with morally gray main characters who don't believe in reforming themselves.
Genre: Historical Romance
