Witch hunts have returned to a world divided. After centuries of uneasy peace, magic is once again under siege. When witch Elena Hall narrowly escapes a brutal witch hunt, she flees with her human sister to the countryside, hoping for obscurity and a fresh start. But peace doesn’t come easy, especially when the enigmatic local coven refuses to let her slip away unnoticed. Heir to power. Prisoner of expectations. Kieran Andraste has everything—wealth, charm, power—but none of the freedom. Beneath his gilded life lies a soul cracking under pressure. As the reluctant enforcer of his father’s ruthless legacy, Kieran is trapped in a role he never chose, forced to sacrifice pieces of himself to uphold a crumbling empire Two fractured souls. One irresistible bond. When Elena and Kieran’s paths collide, they find a fragile refuge in each other’s arms.

Because in a world that’s turning violent and unforgiving, the truth they uncover could ignite a war—or tear them apart forever.
