They summon a devil. He answers-and claims the circle, the forest, and the girls who dared his name. If Kael Thorne-the Hollow Flame-rises whole, the gods who buried him will burn. If he fails, the witches who fed him will. Marked by a forbidden rite, Delilah and her coven unleash a horned king forged of smoke and hunger. Kael isn't a spell to wield-he's a sentence-and his first decree is desire. Bound by blood and flame, they are dragged into his war to reclaim four lost queens: Lazriel, cruel as wildfire; Mirael, the mind that cages mirrors; Vexxa, chaos made flesh; and death-quiet Thaneis, sleeping beneath the world.
Temples crack. Towers breathe. Every kiss is a bargain; every touch, power. Ritual becomes pilgrimage as Kael leads them across ash citadels and mind-prisons, feeding on need, remaking them with his mark. Enemies wake. Old gods remember. The circle that started in a forest widens into a throne room-and a choice: burn the world or bind it. Sin-dark, sensual, and relentless, Ritual of the Hollow Flame is a devil harem romance where consent is weapon and worship, witches become queens, and the only safe word is fire.
