Kiss of the Black Flame

Some bargains are sealed with blood. . . Others with fire. . . The deadliest are sealed with a kiss. . . Saige Grayson has always believed stories could heal. The capital`s most promising bookbinder, she works through chronic pain to restore other people`s treasures. But when her debt collector decides her bookbinding talent is worth more than coin, Saige is traded to the Azkari - an immortal race forged by the gods for war. Her only chance of survival lies with Archer, a fallen Azkari general imprisoned beside her - cursed, dangerous and impossible to ignore. He offers her a way out, and in return Saige must help him retrieve and restore an ancient book - one made of living magic, powerful enough to stop a great evil . . . or unleash it. As Saige works with Archer, the tome begins to awaken something dark - both within the realm and in her. With enemies closing in and buried memories resurfacing, they must decide what they`re willing to sacrifice: their freedom, their fragile trust . . . or the spark that could ignite the world.
