Some bonds are forged in blood. Others burn everything to ash. In Grimora, secrets burn faster than witches, and Syneca Black is both. Forbidden fire magic courses through her veins, hidden behind a lifetime of lies because Hunters don't spare phoenix blood. When her best friend vanishes and resurfaces on execution scrolls, accused of crimes that she couldn’t have possibly committed, Syn risks everything and volunteers for a hunt that could see both of them killed. It's the only way to protect the woman who is like a sister to her. But taking that oath means binding herself to Wickett, the legendary Hunter whose sharp eyes and lethal grace have ended countless witches’ lives. Every moment beside him threatens to shatter her carefully built lies. Every stolen glance fans flames she can't afford to kindle. He's sworn to his cause. She's everything he's trained to destroy. But in a city where Sprites carry desperate messages and ancient Furies keep secrets, the most dangerous discovery isn't the growing fire between them. It's realizing that both hunter and hunted are dancing to someone else's deadly design. When the blood debts come due, Syneca must choose: save the woman who stood with her in shadows or trust the man whose touch feels like salvation. Will the world burn or will she?
