Pre-order INCENDIANT today!

In 2023’s CONSECRATED GROUND, war witch Joan Matthews teamed up with bloodling Leigh Phan to save their town, but not everyone is happy with the outcome . . .

And now, in the sequel INCENDIANT, Joan wants little more than to build a life with Leigh. Their hometown is rebuilding under Joan’s protection, but not everyone is happy with her solution to the most recent vampire crisis.

Meanwhile, Leigh’s bloodling powers lead to unforeseen consequences, and Joan is forced to honor a favor owed to a dangerous foe. Neither knows a greater threat lurks behind seemingly unrelated attacks across the land.

Together, Joan and Leigh once saved the town of Calvert. Now that they are separated, each must learn to save herself, or all their gains will be forfeited—and everyone they know will pay the price.

Incendiant is Book No. 2 in the Joan of Crows series.
