For her sixteenth birthday, Louise le Blanc received a sacrificial altar, a ritual knife, and a wicked scar. Lou’s death could have ended the ancient war between the Church and witches, but she refuses to become a martyr. Escaping her coven, she hides her magic in the criminal underworld of Cesarine. However, the city is fraught with danger; huntsmen, revered as holy men, roam the streets, witches burn without trial, and the Archbishop revels in violence. Reid Diggory, a huntsman, lives by the creed of eradicating witches to please his surrogate father, the Archbishop. When he finally gets a chance to capture a witch, he is thwarted by a foul-mouthed thief who then vanishes. Determined to bring her to justice, Reid vows she won’t escape again. When Lou tricks him into a public scandal, they are forced into an impossible marriage. This union could protect her from the witches—if she can convince Reid she isn’t one. As Lou secretly practices magic, preparing for her mother’s return, she grapples with growing feelings for Reid. But he remains dangerous; he could just as easily condemn her as defend her if he discovers her true identity. With enemies closing in, Lou must navigate trust and secrets before it’s too late.
