Darkest Flame

There are only two fae laws: 1. Do not harm a fae; 2. Do not rob a fae. Or the Enforcer will come for you. Vera wants nothing more than to earn a place with the Rogues, but with her penchant for turning everything to ash and her monstrous appearance, she fits in better with the flesh-eating beasts plaguing her world than she does the warriors fighting them. When the opportunity to join their ranks finally presents itself, nothing goes as planned. Too late, she realizes she's broken the second fae law and she didn't attempt to steal from just any fae. She attempted to steal from him, the Enforcer. Vera is lucky enough to find herself more useful to the Enforcer alive than dead. A bargain is struck-her life in exchange for what was stolen. Only Vera never planned for the Enforcer to join her search. Enigmatic as he is dangerous, he stands for everything she hates, and rouses her desire as much as her anger. Forced to work together to track down the missing weapon, Vera starts to unravel the mystery of the fae behind the deadly façade. And discovers he is not at all what she thought. Meanwhile, an unforeseen enemy will stop at nothing to keep Vera and the Enforcer from uncovering their plot. With more than Vera's life at stake, she will have to make a difficult choice, one that damns her world to darkness if she chooses her heart.

Vera is determined to make amends, but breaking into the Faylands is difficult, and all her attempts to bring Ronan to her have failed. When she learns he's gone missing, she undertakes a risky mission to find him and falls into Boone's trap. He's been hunting her, and he's determined to put her and her beast down for good. Vera is put on trial and sentenced to death, but Ronan saves her. He whisks her away to the Faylands where she learns the unsettling news that King Desmond is searching for her and comes face to face with the truth behind his disappearance, dissolving any hope of a future together. Ronan has two months to recover the godstone and Vera refuses to let him go alone. As they search for a secret entrance into the Nighters' hideaway, they discover the king isn't the only one hunting Vera. They must take on new identities to evade capture, but the lines between reality and fantasy quickly blur. Old passions ignite, but lies and secrecy threaten the mending trust between them. A traitor lurks among them, and war is coming. They must put their trust in one another or face an impossible choice-give up their lives and everything they hold dear, or each other.
