Catching a vigilante sounds simple… until you find out that vigilante is your soulbound. Aravenna Kalladine isn’t just used to keeping secrets; she is one. Publicly, she’s the jilted heir of the world’s largest anti-magic arms company, as Mortal as her late parents and those they protected from dangerous Immortals. But privately, Ara’s guarding a truth that could bring that legacy crumbling she has magic. And when a shipment of dangerous weaponry is stolen, she’s forced to put her secret at risk—so long as nobody sees her face. Detective Graydon Marr doesn’t believe the rumours. Tasked with recovering Kalla Technologies’ missing weapons, he doesn’t have time to worry about spark-wielding vigilantes. But when he comes face-to-mask with the woman herself, something deeper than intrigue clicks between them. The vigilante is his soulbound—a rare, fated love Graydon’s spent centuries believing he wouldn’t find. Even worse? She’s a suspect. As the two navigate the treacherous snows of Veilfall, a city of clashing magic and deadly tech, their search for the missing weapons not only reveals a terrorist plot, but pulls them closer. What starts as a flirtatious game of cat-and-mouse soon builds to a high-stakes pursuit fuelled by feelings they can no longer ignore. But if Graydon wants to learn his soulbound’s identity, he must confront his loyalties and earn her trust. And if Ara wants to finally shed the scars of her clandestine childhood and get her happy ending, she’ll have to face the hardest question of all: Can Graydon Marr love the woman behind the mask?

Ara survived terrorists and crushing heartbreak, but the war for Veilfall has only just begun. The Flame Keepers have unleashed a devastating anti-magic weapon. A new lord mayor has taken the city. Tensions between Mortals and Immortals have never been higher, but this time, Ara’s alter ego—the vigilante known as Sparklegirl—might not be enough to save Veilfall. Nor is it enough to get her soulbound off her back. As Ara fends off political and magical threats, the handsome Immortal Detective Graydon Marr desperately follows her every step. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe—and even more to win back her heart. Sarah J Maas meets Batman in the sequel of this two-book romantasy series.
