A forbidden love. A sleeping fire god. A scholar who dares to wake him. Exiled for breaking too many rules, scholar Ilaris is sent to catalog the forgotten runes of the fire giants, a race erased from history. Then the earth splits open. She awakens Killian: a chained fire giant prince, furious, achingly beautiful, and dangerous enough to destroy kingdoms. His touch burns. His freedom could end the world. And a blood oath has bound them together on an impossible quest. But the one thing they both crave—to touch—is the one thing that could destroy them. And desire is not the only danger waking beneath the earth. Killian is only the beginning. Ancient powers are waking. The gates are weakening. And the Unmaking are coming. Bound by magic and forbidden desire, Ilaris and Killian must choose what they are willing to sacrifice and whether love is worth burning for.
