A Forest of Fire
I’d thought surviving the trials and becoming queen would be the biggest hurdle I’d ever face. I was dead wrong. Someone is murdering Potentials and blackmailing the Masters. The worst part? They’re framing me for it.
A serial killer is on the loose, human traffickers are on the hunt, and a mysterious hooded man is making deals with devils everywhere. To top it all off, a fire has torn through the Verdant Plateau, and I have no doubt it all ties back to House Jupiter.
Distractions lie in the arms of four gorgeous men as deadly as each other. I cannot fall for them, but my conviction teeters on the edge of a sharp blade.
I’m walking a fine line between pleasure and pain, but I’m doing it my way. I have a murderer to find and answers to seek, and I don’t care if I get a little bloody on the way.
I’m an Auger, after all, and death is a family affair.
