Pietra of Renley House

Pietra of Renley House is a dark urban fantasy novelette featuring a powerful female lead, supernatural abilities, and a gritty underworld built on control, loyalty, and consequence. A quick, immersive read perfect for one sitting.Pietra burns exactly where she chooses.Inside Renley House, that's usually enough.In Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, power is measured in control, and Lawrence Renley has built an empire that depends on it: clean jobs, clean endings, and no mistakes.Pietra is the only exception.As his most dangerous asset—and his most unpredictable risk—she walks the line between precision and destruction with a fire that refuses to be owned.But when a mission spirals into something far more visible than it should have been, it draws the attention of the Thermal Regulation Bureau—an organization built to contain people like her—and the Saints, who would rather weaponize that power than suppress it.For the first time, control begins to fracture.And for the first time, Pietra's fire doesn't answer the way it should.
