Dark Spark

He survived the place that broke him. Now he must return before the weapon inside him destroys everything he loves.

For more than a century, Matthew Stone has lived in isolation, keeping his distance from the family he loves and the world he no longer trusts. The black-gold fire spreading beneath his skin is a reminder that some things are safer left buried.

Then Fira arrives.

Ancient, beautiful, and made of living water, she recognizes the dangerous magic consuming his arm. She knows what the Dark Spark was created to do. And she knows exactly what could happen if it breaks free.

Matthew has every reason to distrust her.

Fira has every reason to fear what he's becoming.

But when the long-abandoned Harrow House begins to awaken, they discover that the institution responsible for Matthew's darkest memories was hiding something far worse than cruelty. Something that has waited a century to reclaim the weapon he carries.

Forced together by an enemy that knows his deepest fears, Matthew and Fira must navigate a growing attraction as volatile as the magic between them.

Her water should extinguish his fire.

Instead, it makes him burn.

And returning to Harrow House may cost Matthew the one thing he fought a century to reclaim: his freedom.

Some weapons are forged to destroy. Others are forged to break chains.
