Book Description:
A girl with a broken past and a dark secret. A boy with a twisted future and no second chances. When
they meet, it just might cost them their souls.

Sixteen-year-old Summer doesn’t expect the new boarding school to be any different than the rest: a
temporary stay where everyone will turn against her after a few weeks. Until she meets the rest of the
students at this special school and realizes she’s not the only one with magic in her blood. Accustomed
to the concrete jungle of LA, she gets lost one night in the forests of the Rocky Mountains and meets
Decker, the boy who will become the Master of Night and Fire on his eighteenth birthday. Their
connection is instant and dangerous, for both will be forced to choose between Light and Dark, life and
death, love – and their souls.

One choice. One soul. One price.

Excerpt:

“You want to dance here?” she asked, taking it. “There’s no music.”
Decker swept her into his arms. “We don’t need music.”
They didn’t. Her touch made him shudder, and their bodies synced as they did every time
they danced. The music originated from their entwined souls. The blue flames of his magick
traveled over her at each point where their bodies touched. Like a switch turning off, the chaos in
his mind disappeared. His body relaxed, and he sensed her body yield as well.
“You’re not talking about dancing,” she said.
“No, I’m not,” he replied, heart quickening. He was lost in her dark gaze and soft scent, both
girly and earthy. “I’m talking about this, whatever this is. I wasn’t sure you felt it.”

“I do. I just … I’m afraid of what it means.”
“You’ll fear it more when I tell you what I am.”
She tensed but didn’t look away or try to move away. Pressed together, their bodies kept the
innate rhythm.
“What?” she asked at last.
Decker drew a breath. Fear trickled through him at the thought of her rejection. He couldn’t
live with himself if she walked away. He couldn’t live with himself if he tricked her into being
with him, and she found out in two weeks what that really meant. She’d hate him.
“Decker, what?”
“When Beck and I turn eighteen, he becomes the Master of Light, and I become the Master
of …”
She stumbled and stopped in place, staring up at him. Her breathing grew fast and erratic, the
pulse in her wrist beating like a machine gun against his hand.
“Fire and Night,” she finished in a voice almost too quiet to hear.
He nodded, throat tightening.
Her gaze went to the blue fire traveling up and down her arms. Decker looked at it as well,
unable to stop the creep of his magick into her body. It acted as if they were one body, not two,
and wouldn’t stay inside him. She said nothing. Decker shifted away and released her, expecting
the rejection to follow. The effect she had on him faded without disappearing completely.
“I’m sorry, Summer,” he whispered. “I understand.”
He turned to walk away. The chaos and fury returned to his head. He walked a few steps
and was about to run for the darkness of the forest when her cool hand touched his arm. Decker
stopped without turning.
