When a half-mad Necromancer captures a fiercely independent witch to fuel his apocalyptic ritual, neither expects the spark that ignites between them in the shadows of his Hell-bound castle. Murmur is drowning in the screaming chaos of his own power, but Suyin—with her mysterious abilities and refusal to be anyone's victim—becomes the one thing that quiets his fractured mind. As they're forced into dangerous proximity, the villain and the witch discover that sometimes the greatest magic isn't saving each other, but choosing to. This is a deliciously dark paranormal romance that flips the script on redemption, featuring a demon with questionable morals, a goth witch who won't back down, and the kind of enemies-to-lovers tension that will have you rooting for the villain.
