The Demon and His Viper: The Witch Trials, Book 2

Hector Briar survived the Witch Trials, but he emerged scarred and fractured. His past failures provided the Witch Hunters with a devastating weapon, and worse, they now control the ancient, formidable demon Bahmet. With magic teetering on the brink of extinction, the Hunters are relentless in their quest to incinerate the supernatural from the world for good. Caught in the crosshairs is Arwyn Hopkin, a man who has spent a lifetime mastering the art of deception. His success in the trials has come at a harrowing price: he is now a vessel for Bahmet. Bound to a demon that hungers for liberation and demands absolute obedience, Arwyn is a pawn caught between warring factions who all wish to exploit his power. When Hector and Arwyn reunite, their paths reignite a volatile conflict where the lines between enemies and allies blur. As they navigate a high-stakes arena of betrayal, their mutual attraction blooms into an explosive, dangerous passion. In a world where love is a weapon and trust is a gamble, they must decide if their bond is the salvation they need or the ruin that will destroy them both. The final battle for magic has begun, and the ultimate sacrifice is looming.
