When the pyre becomes her cradle, Jun must choose between vengeance, survival, and the cost of power.
An elf's thirst for forbidden knowledge leads her into fire, betrayal, and a dangerous pact that will change her forever.Jun has always asked questions her people feared to answer. Drawn to human witches and their shadowed power, she finds herself lured into their circle-only to be bound to the pyre as their sacrifice. But as the flames rise, Jun recalls a spell hidden deep within their books, a spell whispered in blood and ash.
When she speaks the forbidden words, a spirit answers. The bargain it offers is simple: power for pain, blood for her soul.
Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, gothic bargains, and heroines who rise from the ashes, The Bargain in Flame is a tale of betrayal, transformation, and the terrible beauty of forbidden magic.
