8 parts Ongoing MatureHesperia grew up in the mortal realm, unaware of the power coursing through her veins. But when King Aeric of Valistar takes her to the fae realm of Orebus, everything she thought she knew shatters. Her body betrays her-fevered visions, fire at her fingertips, and the undeniable truth that she is not human. She is something much rarer, much more dangerous. A phoenix. Or so Aeric thought.
Orebus is crumbling under a devastating plague, one that is slowly leeching away its magic. Aeric is convinced Hesperia is the key to saving his kingdom, but he refuses to tell her everything. Trapped in a gilded cage, bound by half-truths and unanswered questions, Hesperia is left to choose: trust the ruthless fae king or risk everything to uncover the truth on her own.
Eosphoros, the enigmatic and forbidden King of the North-Hesperia, is faced with an even greater dilemma. Aeric has painted him as a villain, but what if he's not? What if he holds the answers she seeks? As tensions rise and desire burns, Hesperia must decide who to believe, who to trust... and who to fight for.
But in a world where fire can be tamed, and hearts can be deceived, the greatest danger of all might just be the girl who was never meant to survive.
