About The Incendiary


A searing slow-burn romantasy packed with yearning and heartbreak, non-stop action and devastating plot twists, The Incendiary is the sequel to bestselling BookTok phenomenon The Silversmith.
They thought she was powerless. Now she is unstoppable.
Everything that Ary thought she knew was a lie…
She has been caged and controlled, lied to by the ones she loved. Now she is finally free—with untamed magic sparking in her veins.
They say she is destined to lead an army against corrupted darkness. They say the man she loves is dangerous—that she will never see him again.
But Ary is done listening to what they say.
She will choose her own destiny.
It’s time for her to burn
