The dead whisper her name.

The living will learn to fear it.

Elara was nothing—just a servant lost in the frozen crypts of Icespire, cursed by royalty and abandoned by her kingdom. But when fire rained from the sky, turning her icy prison into a graveyard, she emerged from the ashes—scarred, stolen magic humming beneath her skin, and hungry for vengeance.

Now, hidden behind the mask of the princess she once served, Elara is trapped in the gilded cage of Emberfall’s court as the king’s seventh wife. Here, smiles are sharper than blades, secrets bleed like wounds, and every heartbeat risks exposure. Her stolen ice magic is her only weapon—and her greatest curse.

But nothing is more dangerous than him.

The Dragon King.

A villain carved from flame and fury, whose molten gaze sees through her lies and whose obsession threatens to consume her whole. His interest isn’t just dangerous—it’s lethal. Because he’s not just her enemy.

He’s the temptation that could ruin her.

And while Rhydian, her loyal guard, shields her from daggers in the dark, it’s his forbidden devotion that slices deepest. His loyalty is a fragile line Elara can’t afford to cross—especially when her heart keeps daring to betray her.

In a world where love is a liability, trust is treason, and power demands sacrifice, Elara didn’t claw her way back from death to bow.

She rose to set kingdoms on fire.
