In the kingdom of Faelori, where pure-blooded fae have driven humans to near extinction, Faelyn lives as the most despised creature of all—a half-blood abomination born from her human slave mother and the Fae King’s moment of weakness.
She has endured relentless torture, starvation, and humiliation. Servants beat her bloody for sport. Her own half-brothers force her to crawl like a dog for their amusement. Even the kitchen scraps are denied to her as she wastes away in the shadows of the very castle where she was born.
But when half-blood meets dragon fire, when the weakest collides with the strongest, when hatred burns into something far more dangerous…
Some bonds are forged in blood and cannot be broken.
In a world where power determines worth and bloodlines decide fate, two souls—one broken, one caged—will either destroy each other completely… or burn the entire kingdom to ash.
