For twenty years, Detective Selene Rowan lived a lie, convinced her weak magic was a defect. But when a brutal force tears through Ravenholt, draining the city’s magical population, the seal beneath her scar fractures. It releases a terrifying power that paints a target on her back.

Ravenholt stands as a powder keg; the match is lit. To survive, Selene must outwit the Highspire elite—a society of marble halls and bloody secrets. Her only guide is Riven Ashborne, a lethal enforcer representing everything she hates.

Untrustworthy and skilled, Riven claims he wants to stop the carnage, but his motives are as dark as his reputation. Bound by a volatile alliance, they hunt a killer harvesting magic for a ritual that could unmake the world.

In a city built on deception, truth strikes as the most lethal weapon of all. Selene discovers her entire life has been preparation for a war she never asked to fight.


PERFECT FOR FANS OF CRESCENT CITY AND KATE DANIELS

If you enjoy the high-stakes romantasy of Sarah J. Maas or the gritty, magical action of Ilona Andrews, this character-driven fantasy thriller will pull you straight into the corrupted streets of Ravenholt.

This one pulled me in right from the start. The opening murder and mystery had me hooked immediately, and I stayed invested the whole way through. I really enjoyed following Selene as she refused to back down, even when everything around her was telling her to. There’s something about her determination that made me want to keep turning the pages. As the story unfolds, it just keeps layering on more—magic, secrets, betrayal, and that constant feeling that something bigger and darker is lurking underneath it all. I loved the slow reveals, especially when it comes to who Selene really is...

Sophia

An excellent continuation from the prequel, The Copper Rain. There is plenty of action throughout, both magical and physical. Also, some surprise twists I didn't see coming. You can't always judge a book by its cover, and the same applies to the characters in this one. Roll on the next episode, based on what I've read to date it should be another ripper read.
