The Cinder Principle

Soundweavers: Book 2

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

No alarms wail, no blades flash in the open—but people die all the same

… Smiling through bloodied lips.

Dancing until their hearts give out. The city calls it peace. Leon calls it a cage.

When he discovers the truth behind the Academy's scars and the city's facade of harmony, he finds himself caught between a banker who catches stars and a circus performer who carries wounds that never healed. Together, they might change everything—if they don't destroy each other first.

And Leon?

He doesn’t fight to be a hero.

He fights because someone has to light the match.
