In 1692 Salem, Melinda Warren carries the weight of her magic alone-until Matthew Tate, a charismatic stranger, steps into her firelit world. His stormy eyes and whispered secrets spark a forbidden love that feels like fate. But as their powers intertwine, shadows grow: a locket too warm to the touch, visions of flames, a heartbeat that isn't hers.
In a town consumed by paranoia, trust is a dangerous spell. Matthew's charm hides a warlock's hunger, and Melinda's heart may be his ultimate prize. As betrayal tightens its grip, one truth emerges: love reveals power, but only betrayal defines it.
This is the untold story of the Warren line's founder-the spark that burned so the Charmed Ones could rise. A gothic tale of magic, sacrifice, and a curse forged in a pewter heart.
Will you follow Melinda into the flames?
