Serena is a woman of science in a world ruled by steel and ancient laws. As the Royal Scholar of Amrak, her life is dedicated to the study of alchemy and the mystical Aethelis Nocturna-a crystal flower that only blooms under the peak of the moon. Her world is safe, structured, and cold... until she finds him.
Alec is a nightmare wrapped in a golden gaze. Wounded, dying, and carrying a biological secret that could start a continental war, he is the enemy Serena was taught to fear. But instead of turning him in, she saves him.
Now, Serena is caught in a deadly game of shadows. To protect Alec's secret, she must surrender her freedom to King Gaxor, a ruthless warrior-king who claims her as his Queen not out of love, but out of a dark, possessive obsession.
As Gaxor's grip tightens and Alec's past catches up to them, Serena must decide: Will she remain the puppet queen of a tyrant, or will her alchemy ignite the revolution that destroys the very foundations of Amrak?
In the Realm of Amrak, love is a luxury, power is a curse, and the truth... the truth is a poison that only the strongest can survive.
