A girl born of fire. A prince forged from ice. A crown that could consume them both.
Ariya has spent her life running — from soldiers, from fate, and from the strange burn-shaped mark that pulses on her skin. But when a deadly ambush awakens the fire inside her, everything changes.
She doesn't burn.
She commands the flame.
On the run, she’s forced to trust a protective warrior, a sharp-tongued thief, and a laughing chaos-mage with terrifying power. Together, they uncover a secret buried in ancient ruins — Ariya is the last Flamebearer, heir to a power feared by kings.
And one of those kings is watching.
Prince Ruvan was born to conquer. Cold, brilliant, and merciless, he sets a trap to destroy her before she can rise. But the more he sees of Ariya, the more he starts to question everything — including himself.
Tied by a mark, haunted by shared dreams, drawn together by something neither understands... Ariya and Ruvan are destined to collide.
The crown is calling.
But will she wear it...
Or burn it down?
