I scream into the air. "Jessa!" Brixtius's voice is next to me. "Who are you talking to?" "You wouldn't believe me if I told you," I tell him. "Let's go!" Brixtius shouts while pulling me down the street. In the same direction as the crowd. We run for a few minutes, the ash making it hard to breathe. Such deadly snow! The next rumble, I realize it is the end. The pyroclastic cloud that kills all the citizens of Pompeii is coming.

he said, eyes already gone dark. I couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t move. Time stopped. Matteo yelled something. Lazaro’s finger curled. And I knew he was going to pull the trigger. To be continued... Chapter 38 – Burn Them All Amara The city burns. Flames eat through rooftops like hungry mouths, smoke veils the sky until the sun itself disappears. Sirens scream like dying violins. Bullets cut through air thick with the scent of gasoline, blood, and betrayal.

Prologue II: Pyre, 3113 Pyre Av 5, 3113 Stephan Caliphus, King Everything was on fire the night he finished the book in the back room of a borrowed house. He laid his glasses down on the desk in front of him and rubbed his tired eyes. The crackling of flames could be heard as the city burned all around them. The blood curdling screams of the men in the streets where they died was enough to make the blood of the fiercest warrior run cold, but he was a man of empathy and it hurt him more than it did the others.

The First City was supposed to be our sanctuary. As the transport swept over the final jagged ridge of the Northern Range, I expected to see the comforting indigo glow of the quartz spires and the steady lanterns of the Frost-Guard. Instead, I saw a city divided by a wall of white fire.

A month later, the whole world turned hotter, and the heatwave apocalypse began. Snowviper's power, just like his name, could lower the temperature within ten feet of him, creating a living shield against the burning world. Blazewing, on the other hand, carried the opposite—heat and fire. Raven took Blazewing, but she died of heat stroke in the heatwave apocalypse, while I survived thanks to Snowviper's cooling power. In her final moments, Raven was convinced I had stolen her husband. She whispered poison into Snowviper's ear, and he killed me.

As the fire took hold behind them, Eirwen realized survival wasn’t about being rescued—it was about being claimed, over and over, until the city forgot she was ever anything but his. ---

Rayna POV The world burned with silver and black. I could feel it before I saw it, like the air itself had teeth. Each breath stung, cold and sharp, laced with smoke and ash. The mark beneath my skin pulsed in rhythm with the rumble of the ground. The city wasn’t just shaking - it was bleeding. When I looked up, the sky was alive with fire. Towers of smoke rose from the western wall, where the wards once shimmered bright. Now, the silver dome that protected our city was fracturing, bleeding darkness through its cracks. Threads of black fire curled through the air, twisting like veins under the skin of the heavens.

Goddess, Millie!
