A Promise of Fire

by Amanda Bouchet

Our rating

Spice 3/5 Darkness 2/5

Spice: moderate. Darkness: some dark moments.

Cat is a soothsayer hiding in a traveling circus until Griffin, a warlord, figures out what she can do and carries her off. The Greek gods meddle constantly. Banter-heavy and steamy, and Griffin is an alpha who actually listens.
