Description
Henry Blackwater is a necromancer who’s spent years locking away his dark gift—and the trauma that came with it. Clara Savoie is an Aura witch who reads emotions like a second language and bakes cupcakes as easily as she spreads joy. She’s sure he’s her person; he’s convinced he’s too broken to be anyone’s. Then a beloved friend dies and Henry breaks open his magic to give Clara the goodbye she needs. That crack in his armor lets everything in—desire, hope, and the danger he’s avoided his whole life.
When Henry’s powerful father is framed for murder, clues point to a grim rival—and a blood curse designed to trap souls in the darkest layer of the netherworld. To clear his father and protect Clara, Henry must descend into Esbos, the demon-riddled depths he swore he’d never enter again. With Clara’s warmth at his back and a spell literally stitched into his skin, he fights monsters outside and inside—the kind with claws and the kind born of old wounds.
What follows is a fast, funny, and fiercely romantic ride: flirty book-club debates, library-ladder heat, a family dinner that turns into a rescue mission, and a rooftop ambush that forces Henry to do the impossible. In a world of witches, werewolves, vampires, and grims, this is one love story that glows—sometimes literally.
