She was supposed to stay hidden. He was supposed to follow orders. Fate had other plans.

Sera Phoenix is a fire-dancer with a secret: she’s the last surviving heir of a bloodline the Church murdered twenty-three years ago. For two decades, she’s hidden her pyromantic powers, content to perform tricks for coins and stay far from the destiny that got her family killed.

But when a corrupted primordial rises and burns the capital of Azar to ash, hiding is no longer an option.

Kael Ashford is a Church knight on a mission that will shatter everything he believes.

Sent to find a weapon against the primordial Cindrath, Kael discovers something far more dangerous: Sera, the Phoenix heir his superiors thought they’d extinguished. She’s powerful, infuriating, and absolutely not interested in saving a kingdom that wanted her dead.

She’s also the only hope they have.

Together, they’ll face corruption, betrayal, and a love that burns hotter than phoenix fire.

As Sera awakens her true powers, she and Kael must navigate:

A Church that wants to enslave herA primordial warped by dark magicAn army of desperate survivors looking to her for salvationAnd a passion that threatens to consume them bothBut even after they save Azar, the real threat is just beginning. Because the Ashen King—the shadow figure who orchestrated her family’s murder—has been watching. Waiting. And he’s marked Sera for something far worse than death.
