8 parts Ongoing MatureIn the land of Eskaria, where kingdoms are forged by fire and ruled by elemental magic, High Queen Serephina Emery ascends the throne after her father's untimely death. Tasked with uniting a fractured realm plagued by volcanic devastation and unrest, she must secure a consort worthy of her crown-one who will strengthen her rule and her heart.
Among the suitors are her closest allies: King Oberon, the charismatic and fiercely protective ruler of the Fae, whose loyalty is as unyielding as stone, and Eryi, the cunning prince of the ice lands, whose love for her burns as brightly as his magic. But as suitors from across the realm gather for her decision, a shadow from Eskaria's dark past returns-High King Vasili Maxwell, the exiled heir of Gorem, a nation infamous for its cruelty and enslavement. Bearing golden blood and a legacy steeped in war, Vasili's arrival threatens to ignite tensions that have smoldered for centuries.
As ancient alliances teeter on the edge of ruin, whispers of rebellion echo from Gorem, where war threatens Vasili's throne. Worse still, something far more sinister stirs beneath Eskaria's surface: the Mordroxes, ancient and malevolent creatures long sealed away by fae magic, whose prison may now be fractured beyond repair. Their release would mean devastation beyond reckoning.
The fate of her kingdom-and perhaps the world-rests on Serephina's ability to balance heart and duty. To protect her people, she must wield not only her elemental birthright but also her courage, as she confronts the undeniable pull of danger and desire. Can a young queen forge a future from the ashes of war-or will enemies both mortal and monstrous unravel everything she holds dear?
