When Blake Fire — illusionist, emperor, and secretly a semi‑dead grim reaper — steps out of the afterlife for a simple hat fitting, he expects a quiet afternoon. Instead, he walks straight into a hostage crisis he can’t magic his way out of.
A panicked thief.
A trembling hatter.
A gun pointed at Blake’s human disguise.
And a reaper lurking outside, watching.
Blake could end the danger in a heartbeat… but revealing who he really is would destroy everything he’s built. Trapped between his power and his persona, he must rely on wits, timing, and sheer luck to survive.
A fallen hatbox.
A desperate struggle.
A single shot that changes everything.
Fire Under Pressure is a tense, supernatural thriller where even the dead have something to lose.
