A Heart of Ruby Flame

A demon without a heart and the thief who stole it.

Evie

When I came to Catanis, the city that never sleeps, I sought excitement and adventure. The annual masquerade provided many opportunities to steal valuable items from the rich and powerful.

But, evil people are searching for me and I must conceal my identity, otherwise I will end up in a cage.

An unusual piece of jewel caught my eye, but little did I know that I had targeted the wrong person. He is one of the most powerful people in Catanis, and rumor has it that he has no soul.

No matter where I go, his light gray eyes follow me.

I don’t know if I can escape this time . . .

Years of nothing but death and destruction, and constant wars made me who I am. I don’t know when I stopped feeling anything except anger and cold indifference about everyone and everything.

I hate this city. I hate the crowds of courtesans, street performers, and city drunks who live like the war at their border has nothing to do with them.

Then she crossed my path, and took what was mine.

She is a liar, and a thief.

I will be damned if I ever fall for her tricks…
