Welcome to the Massachusetts Community.
Living in a hidden world where war, loss, and violence are part of everyday life, Talliana Hoffman knows her place in it. As a sheltered healer for the Order of the Hawk, she has everything planned out—her career, her duty to the war, even her future marriage to Treyton Waterstone. Until the day Treyton disappears, leaving behind only an apology on a note.
Heartbroken but determined, Talliana sets out to find him, only to uncover a truth her people have tried to hide: after centuries of war, the Brethren of the Flaming Sword are closing in, and the Order is running out of time. As her world unravels and the emotions she was trained to suppress surge beyond control, Talliana discovers that embracing her true self may unlock magic strong enough to save them all. But awakening that power reveals a truth far more terrifying.
She isn’t who she thought she was.
She is something much darker.

She is the darkness who stands for the light.
Two years after the March on the Massachusetts Community, Talliana Hoffman is not the same young healer she was. She is a weapon poised to strike—an assassin of the Order. Knowing she is destined to end the war, Talliana must learn how to control the darkness that threatens to swallow her whole at every turn. With college classes, family pressures, and new abilities that she must keep hidden, she cannot afford any distractions. Especially not one with a smile as warm as the sun. Too bad self-control has never been her strong suit.
He is the light who stands for the darkness.
Caspian Campbell has been raised to do one thing: kill any witch that comes across his path. However, if the Brethren want to win this war, they must change tactics. His mission is to capture a witch's heart and make her tell him everything. Not just any witch, but the Order’s very own assassin who is responsible for ending so many lives. But when Caspian realizes she is nothing like he thought, he finds himself fighting a different war—one between love and loyalty.

They can’t hide from the past.
Hunted by the Order they once trusted and by the Brethren who want them dead, Talliana, Caspian, Greer, and Asher are running out of time. The life they’ve built in hiding offers a fleeting taste of peace—one they desperately ache for—but with both sides preparing to strike a final blow, they must act before everyone they left behind is lost.
She’d give anything to make the memories go away.
Talliana, broken under the weight of all she’s already endured, has to find the courage to live past her trauma to fulfill the long-awaited prophecy. Everyone is looking to her to save them all, but the truth is she’s never even been able to save herself. Not from the Brethren, not from the guilt, and not from her own memories. Healing can only happen once she learns to be honest with those she loves the most, but will it be enough? Or will she throw it all away the moment the cost to end the war becomes too high to pay?
It will be up to her to decide:
Save their world or become the very thing that ends it.
