Promised to the Pyre

A barrier divides two deadly worlds. In one, humans are hunted, killed, or worse, used as weapons against their own people. In the other, fear of magic runs rampant, and anyone associated with it is burned alive. When human-born Elyn witnesses a murder at the hands of a magralot demon, a magic she never wanted erupts, earning her a one-way ticket to the pyre. Desperate to escape the flames, Elyn devises a plan to frame someone else. There's just one problem-the handsome bastard kidnaps her instead. Aiden, a reckless haxa warrior, drags Elyn across the barrier to Tör military camp to harness her magic. She must learn to control it-and fast-before it gets her killed. Or costs her the only home she's ever known. But Elyn isn't the only one hiding something, and the unraveling of lies threatens more than just camp. Forced to choose between her life and her humanity, Elyn must expose her secrets or condemn Tör's people to brutal deaths. This is a new adult romantic fantasy with morally grey characters, forced proximity, magic training, political tension, and high-stakes romance.
