"I'll die a happy man." I slap his arm. Harder than I should've. He winces and I instantly panic. "I'm so sorry!" "Kiss it. I'll feel better," he says, smirking.

In Aethriel, freedom is never given - it's bargained for. Velari's disappearance has already shaken kingdoms. Far from court and crown, she is drawn into a hidden world of ancient loyalties, forbidden knowledge, and political games played in shadow. Every truth uncovered carries a cost, and every alliance demands something in return. Because Velari is no longer just a runaway princess. She is leverage. As old powers stir and carefully constructed lies begin to fracture, the war threatening Aethriel reveals itself as something far older - and far more personal - than any clash of armies. Gods are not what they claim to be. History is not what was recorded. And the storm within Velari is no longer content to remain contained. When she finally loses control, it will not break chains. It will break the world.

Now she has one - and it might burn Aethriel to the bone.
