About this book

Aria and her sisters return to the Human Realm of Haven Falls on a desperate mission: to find their missing sister. But Haven Falls has changed, and nothing is as it seems. Least of all Knox, the infuriatingly gorgeous, self-proclaimed King who now rules the realm.

Sparks ignite as Aria clashes with Knox, a battle of wills that reveals she's far more than just a witch of the Hecate bloodline. She's something… more. Now, Aria must embrace her savage side to save her family and uncover the truth. But can she resist the inferno of Knox's heated kisses and burning embrace, or will she be consumed by the flames?

Knox has his own dark agenda, a centuries-long plan for war. Aria was never meant to be part of it, but the fiery witch has awakened something within him, reigniting a heart he thought long dead. He craves her, even though she's his sworn enemy.

Torn between vengeance and desire, Knox faces an impossible choice: destroy the captivating witch who threatens his plans, or defy fate and claim her as his own. War is coming, and nothing will stop him from taking what he believes is rightfully his. But will Aria be his weapon… or his downfall?
