Publisher Description
In the dark underbelly of a beautiful city, two rival assassins are pitted against each other in a deadly game of revenge, where the most dangerous mistake of all is falling in love in this searing young adult fantasy.
In Fantome, a kingdom of cobbled streets, flickering lamplight, beautiful buildings, and secret catacombs, Shade-magic is a scarce and deadly commodity controlled by two enemy guilds: the Cloaks and the Daggers—the thieves and the assassins. On the night of her mother’s murder, eighteen-year-old Seraphine runs for her life. Seeking sanctuary with the Cloaks, Sera’s heart is set on revenge. But are her secret abilities a match for the dark-haired boy whose quicksilver eyes follow her around the city?
Nothing can prepare Sera for the moment she finally comes face-to-face with Ransom, heir to the Order of Daggers. And Ransom is shocked to discover that this unassuming farm girl wields a strange and blazing magic he has never seen before. As the Cloaks and the Daggers grapple for control of Fantome’s underworld, Sera and Ransom are consumed by the push and pull of their magic…and the deadly spark and terrible vengeance that keeps drawing them back together.

“The Dagger and the Flame hooked me from the first page and didn’t let go. With a setting drenched in danger, tension, and a palpable rivalry between two powerful guilds, the Cloaks and the Daggers, this novel brings serious Montagues and Capulets vibes—only with an added twist of illegal magic. Seraphine Marchant, an 18-year-old who’s just lost her mother in a brutal murder, is thrust into a world of heists and forbidden magic, with a relentless assassin hot on her trail.
The magic system is refreshingly easy to follow, adding to the thrilling heist plots and monster-filled moments. But what truly steals the show is the enemies-to-lovers arc—filled with sizzling tension and emotional stakes. By the end, I was left screaming OMG and eager for more of the City of Fantome series. This was a five-star read for anyone craving a story packed with high-stakes action, heartfelt romance, and a darkly enchanting world.

““You are my hobby, Seraphine. Do you want to come out and play?”
I was so fortunate to get an ARC of this book and even though it took me a few chapters to get into it but it was worth it. This one fit into the enemies to lovers tale I love so much. There were more than a few twists and turns, one that was only a fleeting thought but ended up having a huge impact on the story. I don’t want to say any more so everyone can experience it for themselves.
Ransom might do bad things but he’s got a gooey centre under that Shade exterior and you can’t help but root for him. Excuse me while I add him to my book boyfriend list. You could really feel the emotions the character went through and wrestled with and I loved how they found strength in being together.
The story was amazing, flowed well and had a teensy bit of spice and a whole lot of tension”
