Hunted by every kingdom they once fought to protect, Sahara Blaze wakes in a world of silence and shadow. Her memories of Raelin—and the love that nearly broke the world—have been stripped away, leaving only the lethal instincts of an assassin who views her protector with cold suspicion. Now, Raelin must navigate the lawless depths of the Scorchland as a fugitive and an oathbreaker, guarding a woman who no longer knows his name, but whose soul is still tethered to his by a dying spark of magic.

As they flee the "Great Hunt" through the neon-choked slums of the Cinder Sprawl, a new darkness begins to bleed through the cracks in Sahara’s fractured mind. The seductive whispers of the Dark Trinity offer her a path out of the agony, promising a power that can unmake reality itself. With the Hearthstone growing cold and the mask of the monster Bellatrix beginning to slip into place, Raelin faces a devastating choice: let Sahara go to save the world, or embrace forbidden Void-Ice magic to hunt the woman who has become his greatest enemy.

Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout, this heart-wrenching and visceral sequel takes the Hearthstone Chronicles into a realm of psychological horror and forbidden desire, where the only thing more dangerous than a lost memory is the monster waiting to take its place.
