Pillar of Ink

LIMITED FIRST EDITION FEATURING BEAUTIFUL SPRAYED EDGES

In a world ruled by the Truthseeker Order, magic is tightly bound, every spell sanctioned, every power controlled. The Eight Pillar Sigils are sacred, bestowed only upon the worthy to preserve order.

For Estella Vestas, stepdaughter of a ruthless Mindswayer matriarch, that order is nothing but a cage. Born to charm the elite, groomed for obedience, she yearns for freedom - and for the chance to create. On the eve of her twenty-first birthday, she dares the ultimate defiance: she carves a forbidden sigil into her skin.

But the mark she claims does not glow with sanctioned silver. It burns crimson. Bloodfire. A volatile magic tied to the nine exiled goddesses, wild and hungry, bending to her rage, her longing, her heart.

Branded a heretic, Estella is suddenly the most hunted fugitive in the realm. The Council's sinister head believes she is the key to an ancient prophecy. A rebel faction hails her as their messiah. And shadowing her every step is Captain Grey Astrophel - an Orion enforcer sworn to capture her, even as a pull he cannot fight threatens to unravel his oath.

Forced into an uneasy alliance with a rebel whose secrets could undo her, Estella must navigate a world of treachery, passion and shifting loyalties. Her magic could save everything - or ignite a fire that consumes it all ...
