Sigils of Starlight

Magic is written on the skin — but a forbidden mark burns in her blood. A spellbinding slow-burn fantasy romance of forbidden tattoo magic, enemies-to-lovers tension, ancient goddesses and female power, for readers of Spark of the Everflame and A Forbidden Alchemy.

An act of rebellion.
An ancient magic.
A fire that burns in the blood.

In a world ruled by the Truthseeker Order, magic is tightly bound. But on the eve of her twenty-first birthday, Estella Vestas, stepdaughter of a powerful matriarch, dares the ultimate defiance: she carves an unsanctioned sigil into her skin.

The sigil awakens a forbidden feminine power: Bloodfire, a deep magic tied to the nine exiled goddesses. But she has no idea how to control it.

Branded a heretic, Estella is suddenly the most hunted fugitive in the realm. 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, Estella must navigate a world of prophecy, treachery and shifting loyalties. Her magic could save everything—or ignite a fire that consumes it all . . .

'Darkly alluring from start to finish. This book will keep you reading through the night; gritty, twisting, and deliciously swoon-worthy, it draws you in from the very first page. Pillar of Ink is a must-have for any romantasy lover's shelves.' MADELINE TE WHIU, author of The Assassin Thief
