Evadne’s life fractures the night the world beneath Charlotte wakes.
Drawn into a hidden city beneath the streets, Evadne discovers a secret society of immortal beings bound by the Syndian Veil, a living current of power that governs magic, balance, and hunger. Some feed with restraint. Others do not. And all of them feel the Veil respond to her in ways it never has before.
As ancient forces stir and long-dormant creatures rise, Evadne finds herself caught between two dangerous men: Kai, controlled and devastatingly magnetic, whose protection feels both grounding and perilous — and Riven, feral and unsettling, whose interest in her carries the weight of something unspoken and familiar.
Grief cracks Evadne open. Memory bleeds through. The past presses close.
With her humanity slipping and the Veil tightening its hold, Evadne must navigate a world of prophecy, desire, and hidden power — where nothing is what it seems, and every choice pulls her closer to a truth the world has been waiting for…
That some flames are not meant to be extinguished.
They are meant to rise.
