A kingdom torn apart. A power she can’t control. A love that will either save her… or ruin her.

Kaelara Veylin never asked to be the last Flamebearer. Burdened by ancient magic, a fractured rebellion, and a prophecy that may destroy her, she is forced to rise—or watch Aeryndor crumble into ashes.

Dark forces from the Iron Guard and the forbidden depths of the Shadowplane threaten to consume the realm. To survive, Kaelara must outmaneuver power-hungry nobles, unite feuding rulers, and embrace the deadly fire within her.

And then there’s Evric.

Reckless. Sharp-tongued. Unwaveringly loyal to the cause—and to her. Their chemistry is undeniable, but desire is dangerous in a world where trust can be a weapon. He challenges her, tempts her, and makes her burn in ways she never expected—but can they survive the war closing in around them?

As kingdoms rise and fall, Kaelara must make a choice: Will she wield her fire to forge a new empire… or let it consume everything she loves?
