Burned by Magic

In the city of Solantha, where mages hold absolute power and shifters are treated as second-class citizens, Sunaya Baine, a shifter-mage hybrid, struggles to keep her magic hidden. When her abilities are exposed while pursuing a shifter-hunting serial killer, she finds herself imprisoned by the enigmatic Chief Mage. As she resists his attempts to control her, Sunaya realizes that her only chance for freedom—and to catch the killer—lies in overcoming her prejudice against mages and enlisting the Chief Mage's support.
