The Crone of Arcane Cinders: Myrtlewood Crones, Book 5

About this book

Delia Spark has spent her life performing under the spotlight, but nothing could have prepared her for the stage-managed chaos of finding her footing as a powerful fire crone. Between navigating the messy fallout of a divorce from a cult leader and unraveling the dangerous secrets of her ancestral magical legacy, Delia finds herself at a crossroads. As the hunt for an ancient fire dragon intensifies, she must balance the weight of historical magical politics with the demands of her own heart.

The magic in this installment is as volatile as the romance. Delia is joined on her quest by a brooding, immortal warrior whose stoic intensity provides the perfect foil to her own fiery spirit. This delicious grumpy-sunshine dynamic keeps the tension high, even as they face down treacherous betrayals and high-stakes supernatural threats. Whether she is trading barbs with a sarcastic demon cat or leaning on her fellow crones for support, Delia learns that true power is found in the unpredictable, messy beauty of life.

Perfect for fans of paranormal romance who crave a blend of sharp wit and deep emotional stakes, this story feels like a warm, dangerous embrace. It is a masterful addition to a series that reads like visiting old friends, offering a perfect balance of theatrical flair and soul-stirring adventure that will leave your fingers tingling.

Almost no typos! I get quite frustrated when there are so many that my mind Assad's looking for them. It really takes away from the story. I love the characters in the whole Myrtlewood series! Each one is unique and fully fleshed out,. You feel like you really know them! )
