She was born with fire in her veins and nowhere to belong.
Hunted as a threat to the realm, Pyra has spent her life hiding the power that could burn everything she touches. One mistake too many, and she’s caught by Alistair a disciplined Enclave warrior bound to keep mages like her under control. But instead of chains, he offers her something she’s never known: belief. Strength. A reason to stop running.
With the kingdom on the brink of rebellion and long-buried truths rising, Pyra and Alistair are forced into a fragile alliance. What begins as distrust turns into something harder to name, a slow heat that feels more dangerous than her magic ever was.
But loyalty has its price, and power never comes without consequence. When betrayal strikes, Pyra must decide whether to bury her fire again or let it blaze beside the man who never looked away.
When the world demands her silence, will she rise or burn?
