When Hadley Weston finally reunites with her estranged lover—the enigmatic Fitz MacGregor—after they were forced apart, she discovers an unbelievable truth: Fitz is a witch, and so is she.

As Hadley navigates a new world of magic and invasive government officials, she partners with Fitz to gain control over her powers and recover a long-lost MacGregor family artifact, a ring originating in the seventeenth century witch trials in Scotland with the potential to endanger all of witchkind.

But their search for the ring leads them to a much bigger discovery: a rogue witch threatens the safety of human and witchkind. Dodging stalkers, kidnapping attempts, and mistrusting witchkind governments, Hadley and Fitz must work together to reclaim the ring and stop the dangerous witch before he takes over and destroys the world as they know it.

Readers will be swept away on a journey of love, magic, and self-discovery with this omnibus of the first two books in The Summoned Series, Summoned and Crossed.

Into the Flames is available for preorder now wherever books are sold.
