When you're told you'll never be enough, what happens when the fire inside finally burns those doubts to ash?
Aisha is no stranger to being an outcast. As the bastard daughter of a ruthless grand duke, she's spent her life enduring scorn, doing everything she can to prove her place in a kingdom that will never truly accept her. But when her father is kidnapped by dragon shifters, Aisha is thrown into a dangerous journey that will force her to face the limits of her strength, loyalty, and the secrets of her bloodline.
With the help of an unexpected aid, Aisha ventures into the Blood Forest, a forbidden place where magic breathes and danger thrives. The deeper she goes, the more she uncovers about the power lurking within her-and the darkness creeping closer to everything she holds dear.
But trust is a fragile thing, and betrayal is sharper than any blade. Aisha will soon learn that her enemies aren't just the monsters lurking in the forest. Sometimes, they're the people standing right beside you.
