Shawn Comerford never expected to die young—let alone wake up burning alive and reborn as something not quite human.

After being mysteriously killed by a hitman, Shawn is reborn in fire—only to learn he’s not just alive. He's become something mythic. A phoenix person, reborn in fire and charged with protecting a world that doesn’t even believe in magic anymore.

Now, with a strange fire pulsing beneath his skin, Shawn's given a mission he doesn’t understand—one that leads him to Brenda Rodriguez. The one girl fate says he can never have.

She’s beautiful, brilliant… and cursed. Romantic love is fatal for her. Her family’s bloodline ensures it. Anyone who falls for her is marked for destruction. And yet—Shawn can’t stay away.

Even though ancient demons are involved, dragons soar the skies, and a centuries-old curse haunts them.

He was reborn for a reason. He was chosen for her. And he’ll burn every demon in hell to save their love.

Because when you're a phoenix person and your love is forbidden… You don’t run. You rise. You burn.
