About this title

Synopsis

Cerys Thorne understands fire better than people.

In the glassworks of Velkyn's Hollow, heat has rules. Glass has timing. Even danger can be shaped by skilled hands, if everyone keeps their nerve and no one gets in her way. Cerys has built her life on that certainty, ruling her furnace with discipline, sharp orders, and very little patience for interference.

Then the furnace flares, the foundation cracks, and Taren Halvek pulls her out of danger.

The thread appears where his hand closes around her wrist: white-gold, immediate, undeniable. The furnace answers with a roar. Suddenly, the most volatile magic in the Hollow is tied to the one thing Cerys refuses to surrender-control.

Taren is a mason, trained to read pressure before a structure gives way. He knows when to brace, when to wait, and when to let heat find its shape. That makes him useful. It also makes him dangerous.

Because the thread between them does not want obedience. It wants truth. And if Cerys cannot learn the difference between a fire that destroys and a fire that burns true, the bond may consume more than either of them knows how to save.
