Through Magic, United; In Battle, Steadfast; By Coven, Family. Dante Reed’s life as a pyromancer in the elite A.R.C. task force is all about putting out magical fires—literally and figuratively. Snarky, hot-headed, and hell-bent on keeping his real feelings buried, Dante’s got his hands full dodging both enemies and his own demons. But when mysterious infernos linked to dark magic start tearing through the city, his team brings in an outside expert—Sebastian Blackthorn. Sebastian’s the last thing Dante needs—calm, infuriatingly confident, and dripping with that polished charm only a wealthy mage can pull off. But Sebastian’s no ordinary consultant. As an air mage with a reputation for precision and control, he’s the perfect foil to Dante’s fiery chaos. Sparks fly as their investigation heats up, testing Dante’s temper and unraveling his carefully constructed walls. With every clue, they’re drawn deeper into a web of dangerous secrets—and each other. Sebastian wrestles with his family’s dark legacy while Dante battles his own identity, struggling to reconcile the man he’s been with the man Sebastian makes him want to be. As their connection intensifies, so does the threat, until both the city and their hearts are caught in the crossfire. Can Dante and Sebastian uncover the truth before the flames consume everything? Or will the fire between them prove impossible to contain? Trigger Warning: This book contains graphic violence, explicit language and mature sexual content.
