Her father died for his secrets. Now they might get her killed.

In the divided world of Talish, magic is power, and power is tightly controlled. As a Crafter, Natsu is told to keep her head down, her abilities hidden, and her future planned- a future that comes with working for the Mortal elite. But two years after her father’s execution for practicing Dark Magic, all she wants are answers.

When a dead body turns up on her way to a blind date, Natsu is pulled into a chilling conspiracy that traces back to her father’s forbidden research. Each clue drags her deeper into a web of lies, and each step forward comes with a body count.

As she delves into her family's past, Natsu discovers her father wasn’t just wielding forbidden magic, he was creating a spell powerful enough to spark a revolution.

Spice Rating

Rating: 🌶️

Mythic Manuscripts Spice Scale:

  • 1 (Mild): Very little to no explicit content. May include kissing and hand-holding, but nothing more.

  • 2 (Warm): Includes passionate kissing and some sexual tension, but the explicit acts are often "fade to black" or left to the imagination.

  • 3 (Spicy): Detailed and steamy romance, but not overly graphic.

  • 4 (Hot): Open-door scenes with vivid descriptions of intimacy that make up a significant part of the story.

  • 5 (Extra Hot/Blazing Inferno): Extremely explicit and graphic scenes where the romantic and sexual content is the main focus of the entire book.
