She was born with fire in her blood—and nowhere to belong.

Branded as a danger to the realm, Pyra has spent her life running from the heat inside her. One spark too many, and she's captured by Alistair—a stoic Enclave warrior sworn to keep rogue mages like her in line. But the man who was supposed to be her jailer sees something no one else ever has: potential. Strength. Her.

As the kingdom teeters on the edge of a civil reckoning and ancient secrets resurface, Pyra is forced into an uneasy alliance with the one man who could both save and destroy her. What begins as tension blazes into something deeper, fiercer—and far more dangerous than magic itself.

But trust is fragile, and her power isn't the only thing burning through her skin. When betrayal threatens to tear apart everything she's fought to control, Pyra must choose: hide her fire again... or rise from the ashes with the warrior who never flinched.

Can love survive when the flames come from within?
