They said she was cursed. Dangerous. Unworthy of the crown.
Elira was once a beloved royal; until her powers awakened and everything fell apart. Marked a monster by her family, she was stripped of her title, dragged from the palace in chains, and cast into exile. No home, no name, no one.
Years went on and the world moved on, but Elira… she never forgot them.
Now, fate hands her to Prince Kael, the ruthless heir of her kingdom’s rival empire. He should be her enemy, and he is. Cold, calculating, and far too clever, he trusts no one, especially not a girl with secrets in her eyes and fire in her veins.
