Between fire and forest, nothing should burn yet something does. Zahira was born in the Fire Clan, heir to a world where loyalty is paid in blood and freedom is dangerous. Neteyam comes from another people, another destiny. When their paths cross, Zahira discovers what she was never allowed to imagine : choice, doubt, freedom. But loving the enemy, dreaming of another world, is to betray everything she has ever known. Between traditions, wars, and secrets, their forbidden bond could change the balance of Pandora or reduce it to ashes. When duty clashes with the desire for freedom, some flames cannot be put out.

Ruthless in execution, quick in judgment, and trusted to survive alone where others would burn. But most importantly she is sent to spy. Instead, she is captured by the Metkayina clan. Neteyam, son of Toruk Makto, is ordered to guard her-to watch her, to decide if she is worth keeping alive. He wants her gone. She is everything he despises: ruthless, cold-blooded, and-by his belief-a disgrace to Eywa. This is a slowburn enemies to lovers story ⋆｡°✩

She was sent to Pandora with a mission. That was the first mistake. Neteyam x OC | First-person POV I take writing seriously, and every part of this book has been carefully thought through. I respect your time as a reader and genuinely appreciate you choosing to spend it on this story. Enjoy 🤍
