"In a world of magic and sin, love is the dangerous temptation of all." Where spells burn hotter than fire and power tastes sweeter than blood, desire is the deadliest curse of them all. He was everything she should've feared - cruel, beautiful, untouchable. The name whispered in dark corridors, the shadow that lingered in forbidden dreams. "She'd walk through hell for the people she loves. He'd burn it down just to watch her glow." Valeria Burke doesn't play nice. She's loyal to the bone - the kind of loyalty that cuts deep, that destroys anything in its path, and leaves scars you don't recover from. She's fierce, untamed, and done pretending she's anything less than the storm everyone fears. Then there's Mattheo Riddle - wicked grin, cigarette between his lips, and eyes that look like sin wrapped in silk. He's chaos, she's fury, and when they collide, the world trembles. Between broken promises, dangerous secrets, and emotions she swore she'd never feel, Valeria finds herself caught in something far more destructive than magic - him. Because love, in their world, isn't gentle. It's dark. Addictive. And it always demands blood. Because loyalty is her curse... and he's the one she'd burn for.
