Devil's Night

A witch with fickle magic.
A wizard with a lifelong obsession.
A Devil’s Night to remember.

I love my job.

As a linguist at the Order of Styx, I decipher lost languages for a living. Not only does the work feed my soul, but it’s a daily reminder that the parents who discarded me, the siblings who tried to break me, were dead wrong.

I am more than my unreliable magic, and in the right environment, I thrive.

However, after a decade of paying my dues with short-term contract work, I’ve officially peaked. Paygrade, project seniority, agent rank: there are no higher rungs on the professional ladder. If I don’t pivot, my career flatlines.

So, when the Vault of Vor—Styx’s exclusive demonic research archive—offers me a three-year position, I take it. Immediately.

Unaware that the wizard who first taught my heart to yearn is already there.

Enter Reeve Rune: chief Vault ritualist and butcher of infernal rites.

My older brother’s ex-best friend. My first crush. My only comfort and companion, once, in social circles made of barbed wire.

Fiercely intelligent, the heir of House Rune is an aristocrat who loathes everyone at first sight. He’s aged like fine wine and, after ten years apart, still makes my heart race.

Before the transfer, I’d prepared myself for office politics and social hierarchies.

But not him. I’m woefully unprepared for him.

For the way Reeve looks at me now: intense, constant—devoted.

The way he haunts my every waking thought.

The way I seem to haunt his.

At first, our reunion feels like a fresh start. Something good.

But the ghosts of my past refuse to let go, and when Reeve catches me at my lowest, drowning, he decides enough is enough.

Everything burns.

And on the Devil’s Night, I’m left with two options: rot in the ashes of who I’ve always been…

Or rise from them once and for all.
