Burn Me Cold
Synopsis
In Hallowmere, a city stacked on top of its own graveyard, Kindlers burn the dead clean and Wardens of the Quiet walk them home — and the Accord forbids the two orders from so much as brushing hands, because a bonded pair can crack the veil. When four hundred souls go missing from the ledgers, hearth-witch Thessaly Ndukwe is chained to Warden Ozren Vasilek, a man who hasn't felt warm in nine years and would prefer to keep it that way. What they find under the city is not a thief but a leash: the Accord was forged by unmaking a pair exactly like them, and the Provost intends to do it again — which leaves Thess and Ozren one impossible choice, break the Seal or be it.
