Magic simmers beneath the neon glow of Bellwood, South Carolina—but not everyone plays by the rules.

When a powerful businessman hires him to protect his wife, Brandon Summers is dragged into the shadows of one of his most dangerous assignments yet. His charge? Charlotte Jenkins, is a fire-fey-turned-lounge-singer who is trapped in a loveless marriage and bound to a cursed stone that should never have fallen into mortal hands.

With dangerous factions closing in—including the enigmatic dragon priests—Charlotte's only ally is a man she once called a friend. But Brandon has his problems: raising his little sister while trying to navigate a world of magic he can see but never touch.

As betrayals mount and secrets unravel, the Phoenix Stone's power threatens to consume them all. In a city where monsters wear human faces, survival means knowing who to trust…and who to burn.
