AJDANROBORT

In a kingdom that fears magic and silences power, Elira has spent her life hiding. A healer by day, a secret flamebearer by blood, she’s learned to live small—quiet, unseen, and unbroken. Until the day everything she loves is burned to the ground. Branded a threat to the crown and dragged in chains to the capital, Elira expects execution. Instead, she’s thrown into the court of Prince Kael Dareth—the infamous Bloodmarked heir with a heart colder than the throne he’s bound to inherit. Kael is not a man who saves. He conquers. But something about Elira’s fire—defiant, wild, and terrifyingly familiar—shakes the control he’s clung to all his life. She refuses to kneel. She doesn’t flinch beneath his gaze. And when an ancient power stirs between them, neither of them can ignore what’s coming. An unwanted bond. A rising rebellion. A dangerous attraction that could undo them both. As war brews and secrets twist around them like smoke, Elira and Kael must decide where they stand—on opposite sides of the battlefield, or side by side in the fire. Because some are born to rule. Some are born to burn. And some... are born to do both.
