For fans of Throne of Glass, by Sarah J. Maas, One Dark Window, by Rachel Gillig, and From Blood and Ash, by Jennifer L. Armentrout.
Thrust into a world of magic where the veil between life and death is thin, Lucina must navigate a bloodline stained by betrayal, anomalous power, and a demon bound to her soul.
Lucina Carmine was raised as a burden, studying the stars as if there was greener grass tucked between them. On the other side of the continent, the Captain was raised as a weapon, oathbound to protect and serve the Sol—witches forced to evacuate their kingdom after a betrayal led to the fall of their once glorious city.
When a fate-led scrape with death awakens dormant magic within her, Lucina's life collides with the Captain’s. Faced with the opportunity to uncover her true ancestral lineage, she joins him in Pirn–a hidden refuge for the Sol.
Suspicions rise over her mysterious arrival, and until her bloodline can be revealed, the Captain is ordered to watch her every move. Tensions rise between them, the line of professionalism begins to blur, and the Captain loses what he has spent his whole life guarding–his heart.
But the emergence of her power has provoked something far more sinister, and when Lucina uncovers the full truth about her heritage, perhaps she is the last person he should trust it with.

Meanwhile, in Draycott...
Ivy’s best friend has disappeared. She was one of the few people left in this world that she cared about. But grieving Lucina is only the start to a cruel and unforgiving summer.
Ivy’s life comes crumbling down around her, falling apart to fast for her to keep up. Her scholarship is at stake, her late grandmother’s legacy is slipping through her fingers, and her uncle—driven by vengeance and old debts—will do anything he can to keep her under his thumb.
Bending her morals to stay afloat and barely dodging disaster at every turn, the only thing she can’t seem to outrun are her mounting feeling for Lucina’s brother, Jude. He becomes the only constant in the chaos, and the last good thing she has. But letting him into her vacant heart is dangerous, because losing him would mean losing everything.
Losing him would mean war.
And Ivy would wage it. No matter the cost.
Book Two
Following a heated summer of ancient magic, soul-bound spirits, and far too many close calls with death, Lucina has traded the target on her back for a secret that could ruin everything.
In this ruthless sequel to Rachel Erin’s Anomalies, Lucina joins the hunt to rescue the Sol. As the first female initiate, she’ll have to decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice for her spot in the Captain’s coven. And despite their simmering romance, no mercy will be spared.
Surviving Initiation is the least of her worries. It’s easy to be impressed with the unrivaled power Lucina has inherited, but not even the Captain knows what lurks beneath it. It’s less of a secret and more a time bomb, counting down from some unknown number. It’s only a matter of seconds before it ruptures, taking everything Lucina has come to love with it.
When a plan falls in place to finally rescue their people, Lucina is far too focused on leaving Pirn to consider what might be waiting for her outside.
But what’s scarier than the beast sleeping inside her?
The one that’s been sent to find her.
