The Circle Burns

The Circle Burns

They told her obedience was survival. They lied. When Imogen is initiated into an elite secret society known only as The Circle, she believes she’s trading anonymity for power — but the truth is far more twisted. Behind silk masks and seductive promises lie brutal rituals, psychological games, and men who crave control. Imogen quickly learns that to stay alive, she’ll need to be more than clever. She’ll need to become dangerous. As her past unravels and allies blur into enemies, Imogen finds herself drawn to Lucien — the enigmatic leader whose cruelty hides something darker... and far more familiar. But desire is deadly in the Circle, and trust even more so. With every task, Imogen sinks deeper — until escape isn’t just impossible… It’s war. Perfect for fans of The Secret History, Gothikana, and The Atlas Six, The Circle Burns is a dark romance full of razor-edged secrets, psychological seduction, and one woman’s rise from pawn to queen.
