Description
There are several ways to make a dead man talk and Nyia Marre knows them all.
When her husband’s body is discovered, Nyia’s first thought isn’t grief-it’s the dragon eye, their family’s most valuable treasure…and her only chance at financial freedom.
Nyia is a Burner, a human with the rare ability to extract magic from mythic creatures, a gift coveted and controlled by her king. Now, with ruthless debt collectors closing in, she’ll risk everything to reclaim the stolen dragon’s eye. Her only lead points to Rafael Darkthorne, the king’s royal procurer of mythic parts-and the last man she wants to trust.
Darkthorne swears he didn’t kill her husband. In fact, he offers to help her find the dragon’s eye…for a price. Teaming up with him means playing a dangerous game of bargains and betrayal but it is a price Nyia is all too willing to pay for her freedom. Darkthorne might be her only ally-and her greatest temptation, but Nyia isn’t worried. She knows that magic burns. Some people just know how to hold the match.

This is her first adult novel and the nom de plume was created to hide from her young readers.When she isn’t writing, Lexi is probably cooking an elaborate feast, riding unicorns, slaying monsters, or simply curled up with a good book. While Lexi plans to continue publishing adult novels, you can find her published works for children and young adults under the name A. M. Deese where she publishes books with all the magic and adventure but none of the spice.For more information and for a full list of her titles and upcoming projects, please visit www.authorlexilopez.com
