The Guild wants my husband dead.

And the most dangerous lawyer in the magical world wants me to choose which future he gets—my love… or his execution.

Mark left me to protect me from his magic—the volatile darkness inside him that even he struggles to contain. But when we see each other again at his grandparents’ funeral, the connection between us doesn’t flicker.

It blazes back to life..

And Rick Mitchell is waiting for exactly that.

He learns I’m pregnant.

He drafts divorce papers in my name.
Makes sure my words never reach Mark.
Whispers poison into the ears of every mage who ever stood beside us.

Then he delivers his choice:

Divorce Mark…
or watch him die.

If I return to my husband, Rick will haul us before the Guild for the crime of binding my power to his. He’ll reveal my pregnancy to a magical world already looking for a reason to destroy us—and ensure the verdict is fatal.

As the Guild fractures and a shadow faction rises from within, and the darkness they fear in Mark edges closer to the surface with every move they make–

I’m faced with an impossible choice:

—I can save my husband.

Or I can save his soul.

But if I make the wrong choice, the Guild won’t just lose a trial—

they’ll start a war.
