When twenty-one-year-old Virginia “Ginny” Blackthorne’s fire magic ignites during a sermon on sin, she knows one truth: If she stays, she burns. Fleeing her zealot stepfather and a forced marriage, Ginny follows a blood-bound pendant to an academy hidden between worlds, where the chosen study forbidden magic beneath three moons and ancient gods still whisper through the walls. At the Umbral Academy, power comes at a price. The professors are merciless, the Trials are lethal, and her fellow students would rather see her dead than crowned Firebringer. But three dangerously irresistible men refuse to let her face the flames alone: Owen, the forge-born warrior whose touch burns hotter than his hammer.

Dorian, the scholar who hides wicked secrets behind silver eyes and whispered spells. Gabriel, the cursed priest whose darkness hungers for her light. Bound by prophecy. Tested by magic. Tempted by desire that could consume them all. To survive the Academy’s trials, Ginny must master her fire or become its next sacrifice. But some flames were never meant to be controlled. For fans of Zodiac Academy, House of Flame and Shadow, and The Bonds That Tie - comes a darkly seductive romantasy where the fire chooses her heart…and her harem. Enemies. Soulmates. Monsters. Gods. Welcome to the Academy where love is a weapon and survival is the ultimate test.
