As the city burns, so does his heart...

Cas Nightbrook lives on a knife’s edge, surviving by precision, cunning, and grit. A thief in the brutal City of Analon, his only goals are protecting his younger sister and avenging his parents’ murder at the hands of the crown. So when Cas is invited to The Emberlight Trials—a deadly initiation run by a rebel order tied to a forbidden and hunted magical race—he doesn’t hesitate. It may be his best chance at justice.

What he doesn’t anticipate is Darion Thorne.

Charming, infuriating, and always one step ahead, Darion keeps showing up in places Cas doesn’t expect. As the riddles and danger of the Trials intensify, Darion becomes a complication Cas never planned for: someone who sees through Cas’s defences and tempts him to want something more than just survival. And that’s exactly what terrifies him.

But Darion’s secrets run deep. As the rebellion breaks into the streets and the city burns, Cas must choose between vengeance, his sister’s life, and falling for a man whose hidden past could destroy everything Cas has built to survive.
