Plot Summary: From Crushed Dreams to Burning Vengeance
The story centers on Savvy Miller, a talented young artist, whose life has revolved around her older brother’s band and more specifically, Jax Harding, the charismatic guitarist who unintentionally becomes the center of her world.
What begins as a teenage crush slowly unravels into psychological manipulation, betrayal, and ultimately, a devastating injury that changes Savvy’s life forever. The narrative masterfully shifts gears when a supernatural undercurrent is revealed. Her father, Silas, emerges as a fallen Guardian Spirit, once powerful but now diminished by love and sacrifice.
Enter Seraphina Vance, Savvy’s estranged mother and the embodiment of cold ambition, whose descent into cruelty reaches a horrifying climax when she blinds her own daughter. The emotional weight of the story is intensified as Silas regains his powers, enacts divine retribution, and rescues Savvy’s younger sister Willow from a world of corruption.
Characters That Bleed and Burn

- Savvy is not your typical damsel. Her emotional journey from infatuated teen to a woman betrayed and finally, empowered feels raw and real.
- Jax Harding is complex: magnetic but deeply flawed. He represents the kind of narcissistic love interest who uses charm as currency.
- Seraphina Vance is a masterpiece of moral corruption a mother turned villain, her ambition blinding her as much as the dark magic she wields.
- Silas is the heart of the novel, embodying both the tragic and the divine. His transformation from fallen spirit to a vengeful, righteous force is one of the most satisfying arcs in modern fantasy-romance.
