Fiery Souls and Twisted Things

Maxine Adler has a reputation for being a high-maintenance tyrant who uses everyone's darkest secrets as currency. But there is one secret she will take to her grave.

When they were twelve, she watched her golden-boy neighbor, Phoenix Reed, get brutally murdered in the woods, only to rise from his own ashes in a terrifying, white-hot inferno.

For six years, Max has played the part of the obsessed, annoying stalker, acting as his unasked-for guardian angel while he remains completely oblivious. But during a camping trip, the fragile illusion shatters. The invisible entity that slaughtered Phoenix isn't hiding in the shadows anymore. It's hunting Max.

Dragged into a world of ancient curses, local shapeshifters, and a monstrous Hound craving blood, Max is forced to face the truth. Phoenix claims he's a monster who owes her nothing, but as an ancient convergence demands a balance between his fire and her bloodline, staying away isn't an option.

He might be undying, but she'll pick up a bow and fight hell itself before she lets him burn again.
