Ten Years We Burned

Thaleia can burn a future to gain power in the present. Damon is the witch-hunter rendered invisible to every prophecy. When they ignite and sacrifice ten years of married happiness to escape a labyrinth, both remember a life that can never exist. Pursued across the Aegean by a council that farms oracles as weapons, they must decide whether to burn a promised throne—or preserve one unwritten chance to choose each other.

A hunted oracle burns ten years of marriage to escape with the one man fate cannot see—then learns he volunteered to become her blind spot.
