Amarie’s legendary magic could incinerate her enemies, but it’s her sword she trusts.
While running from the men who killed her family, she learns of an ancient text locked within the Great Library that might be the final key. During the daring theft, a stranger inserts himself into her scheme. Kin’s roguish good looks and boundless charm threaten to distract her, but she has no intention of landing in the city jail.
Kin’s life, riddled with shadows and death, is as dark as his soul.
He embraces his power, given by a wicked master, but when he meets Amarie... She shatters the walls he’s built, piercing his solitude with vibrant light. But if she learns he hunts the power cursing her family, he will lose her forever.
Trusting him could risk her heart and her life, but it might be the only way to destroy the world’s most sinister evil. Unless Kin’s master finds her first…

“He’d wrap up the world and present it to her in a stained-glass box.”
Even a stone can bleed.
On the run again, Amarie fears her new ally could secretly be working with Kin, even while Talon gives her every detail he knows of the Shade’s secrets. But Talon has her back during a dangerous encounter, and she risks showing him the truth of her blood.
After being forced to answer his master’s summons, Kin races to reach Amarie to save her from a new threat. When he fails to warn her in time, he finds himself trapped between Talon’s rage and the possibility of Amarie’s death.
But someone else is watching. And they know that even in the most dire circumstances, death… may not be the end.

“You can’t imagine what he’ll do to you if he finds out the truth. I endanger you further every moment we’re together. I love you and can’t stand to imagine his hands on you. He can do so much worse than death.”
Kin gave away part of his soul, and the remnants keep cracking.
While continuing the ruse of Amarie’s death, Kin suffers at the hands of his master. He abandons the corrupt power in his veins when his mother’s life is threatened, but it is no minor task.
After throwing herself to the mercy of the auer, intent on sparing Talon a horrendous fate, Amarie fears nothing can change the outcome of his sentence. In a drastic act, she bargains with the greatest leverage she has and hopes she isn’t too late.
Desperation fuels Amarie’s desire to confront Kin’s master, placing the future of Pantracia in grave danger. If those who seek to protect her fail... the kingdoms, and life as they know it, will fall to ash and shadow.

All I do is for my love of you. You. Not your power. And there’s nothing in this world that will change the way I feel for you. Not distance, not time, and certainly not your care for another man. We will always have this.”
