Elythea was never meant to live. Born with the mark of a Velhara—cursed heir to the frost throne—Elythea walks in shadows and slays without mercy. Raised by a banished goddess, she’s spilled blood for someone who never loved her. But everything changes when she meets Ashen—a fire-born god. The last Celestial Prince. Dangerous. Forbidden. Unforgettable. When the ancient flame awakens and kingdoms kneel to a girl marked for death, the world begins to tremble. Now, frost and fire will rise. Secrets will burn. And love—love might destroy them both. “She is no longer the puppet you can play. She is the blade. And I will do as she says.”
