She was meant to be a queen. Now she might just burn a kingdom down.

Aveline mastered the art of silence and charm in a realm that prized beauty over power, until the prince she was promised to shattered everything, choosing a seductive stranger and casting her into exile like discarded silk.

Banished to a land where strength devours weakness, she faces Kael, a brooding king forged by war who has no patience for fragile or broken queens. But Aveline is far from broken. Beneath her grace burns a secret that could shatter kingdoms: a power blessed and cursed by the gods themselves.

When ancient magic awakens and treachery strikes from the shadows, desire becomes as dangerous as any blade. Trust is a luxury neither can afford, yet their fates intertwine like a noose tightening around both their throats.

Kael sees the fire behind her eyes. Aveline feels the darkness calling her name.

One wrong move, one moment of weakness, and everything burns.

One kingdom betrayed her. Another could be her salvation, if she doesn't lose her heart, her soul, and her life first.
