Burn Her They Said: A Dark Fantasy Forbidden Bodyguard Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798994892176)

In a land where Dragons are revered like Gods, a witch and her guards must risk it all.

Witches in Ampara Deicra are required to use their powers of emotional influence to benefit sorcerers. None so much as Tasch-a witch born during the Anomaly, when environmental changes caused her magic to develop unmatched abilities.

Taken by the Emperor to manage his mood, she has served by his side since early childhood. Granted the title of Imperial Grand Witch, she is protected by the strongest sorcerers in each form of magic-all Anomalies, like her-with powers beyond any before or after them.

Until a sorcerer named Varic develops abilities surpassing Tasch's Lead Guard. A fact which the Emperor denies by hiding Varic in the Imperial Army.

Where Varic is commanded to grow his strength past the point he can contain it, requiring Tasch's power to overcome from the grief of his magic causing the worst known catastrophe. They fall in love in the time it takes to heal him, forging a connection which is highly forbidden.

Over time Tasch's powers fade, rather than strengthen, while the Emperor's greed escalates the need for resources among bordering lands, who increase their attacks on the Imperial Palace. Fearing the worst, Emperor Aldritch assigns Varic to oversee Tasch's detail, placing the two beings who must hide their feelings mere inches from each other.

With the highest stakes they've ever encountered, can Tasch's Guards save her and the citizens, with the help of their bonded Dragons?

For fans of Anathema, Dragonfall, and A Discovery of Witches comes the tale of a burnt-out witch in her thirties who is trying to survive long enough to save the citizens from their power-hungry Emperor, with the help of her Guards and the Dragons they share a bond.
