Elara is fire incarnate-a red-haired warrior with a sharp tongue, an iron will, and a past that refuses to let her go. Abandoned by her father, she carries the weight of betrayal and trauma like armor, trusting no one and answering to no one... except maybe her older brother, Sylas.
Vaelen is everything she despises: stubborn, strong-willed, and infuriatingly confident. When their paths collide, sparks fly-at first the kind that threaten to burn them alive. Enemies in every sense, they clash over honor, pride, and stubbornness. Yet beneath the surface of battle and barbed words, something unspoken begins to grow, testing every boundary Elara has built around her heart.
Meanwhile, Sylas finds himself drawn to someone unexpected-Sylvara, Elara's loyal best friend, and Vaelen's other rival. Their rivalry hides a deep connection, and as they navigate tension, loyalty, and shared danger, a slow, reluctant love begins to bloom.
In a world where trust is fragile and every relationship is a battlefield, hearts are tested, wounds are confronted, and love comes in the most unexpected forms. Will Elara and Vaelen let go of their hatred before it destroys them? And can Sylas and Sylvara turn rivalry into something worth fighting for?
