The Hollow and the Pyre

She was sent a hunter to end her. She wasn't expecting to be chosen.

Maren Holt went down into the ruins to pay a debt. She came back carrying a god.

Bound to the ancient entity whose escape shattered the sky three hundred years ago, Maren is now the most hunted woman in the Reach - a walking apocalypse the Radiant Choir has sworn to burn. So they send their deadliest blade to do it.

But Warden Sorin Rell's holy fire dies in his hands the moment he finds her. Because the monster he came to execute is spending pieces of her own soul to keep from harming a single innocent - and the truth the Choir has buried for three centuries is worse than any heresy: burning her won't end the god. It will free it.

Hunted across a dying world, a woman who refuses to surrender, a warden who's stopped believing his own certainties, and the seductive darkness in her head that would rather fade than let her go must learn the one thing that could save them all - the difference between being owned and being chosen. Before an inquisitor forces the choice for them, and breaks the sky a second time.

For readers of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros. A dark, slow-burn fantasy romance. Adult (18+): fantasy violence, grief, and moderate on-page intimacy.
