Untouchable. No one dares challenge him... until Aeryx. The Academy's most gifted healer and enchantress is equally notorious for her sharp tongue and stubborn will. When the principal pairs them together, the city braces for chaos. When she's forced to serve under Asael, neither of them is prepared for the sparks. Their clashes are fire and steel, every glance a challenge, every word a dare. He's the perfect predator. She's the untamed flame. He wants obedience. She wants freedom. But in a city where monsters lurk in the shadows, the most dangerous battle might be the one where their hearts are on the line... and only one will win.

Sa loob ng elite na Section Bismuth, iginawad sa kanya ang titulong Queen-isang posisyong kinatatakutan ng lahat. Dito niya makakaharap ang mailap at makapangyarihang King ng kanilang seksyon. Dahil sa masalimoot na nakaraan, malamig at puno ng poot ang pakikitungo ng pinunong ito sa bawat babaeng nauupo sa tabi niya. Ngunit sa likod ng pagiging tahimik ni Maria, nagtatago ang isang bangis na mas malupit pa sa sinumang hari kapag may inosenteng nasasaktan. Sa huli, ang takot ng hari ay mapapalitan ng matinding paghanga at isang mapanganib na possessiveness na hinding-hindi pakakawalan ang kanyang itinakdang kapareha.
