He forges with fire. She channels raw magic. Together, they're unstoppable.

Austin checks every weld four times now. Five years ago, the iron bird he forged for his wife sang in the wind as she fell to her death. Now he works alone, certain that everything he creates will eventually fail. That everyone he loves will break.

Then Barrett arrives with an impossible commission: forge a lock that cannot fail. A lock to save his daughter Charlie's life.

Charlie doesn't know she's being hunted. Doesn't know the power sleeping inside her. Wild, ancient Wellspring magic is about to wake up and burn through her from the inside out. Her father has kept her sheltered, hidden, safe. But safety is running out.

When collectors made of shadow come for Charlie, Austin discovers he's more than a metalworker. He's a maker, capable of forging intention into iron. And the only way to save her life is a forbidden spell that binds half her power into him, a transference that should kill them both.

Instead, it changes everything.

Their magics don't just coexist. They amplify each other, gold and silver twining together, creating possibilities the magical world hasn't seen in centuries. Austin's maker craft gains devastating strength. Charlie's raw power finds focus and control. Together, they can forge miracles.

But power like theirs attracts attention. The Council wants to control them. Hunters want to harvest them. And staying alive means learning to work together -- in magic and in love.

Austin spent five years believing he destroys everything he touches. Charlie spent thirty-two years hidden from her own strength. Now they'll forge something neither could create alone: a partnership that can survive the dangers coming for them, and a love brave enough to risk breaking again.

Because some bonds, once forged, can never be undone.
