Every time a Pyro is born, the Gods flip a coin and hold their breath. Fifteen year old Princess Marilyn Pyro has everything she wants in life. She has her family, money, and her best friend, Miles Gomez. However, after an execution gone sideways, the life of peaceful royalty that Marilyn has had falls apart, with her parents being assassinated, and Marilyn fleeing from the castle-and accusations-never to be seen again... Twenty year old Emberly Feu has been serving the Emperor of Eirineftes since she was fifteen years old. For five years, she learned three things: keep your head down, don't ask questions, and don't make a scene. When the Witch-Hunters arrive the same day as the Everlight, Emberly's simple life is shaken when the captain of the Witch-Hunters demands for the lost princess of Lucis, Marilyn Pyro, and when the Everlight starts accusing Emberly of being the lost princess... Set twenty-five years before the events in "The Light-Bringer" trilogy, witness the journeys of Marilyn Pyro as she rises to power, and Emberly Feu as she confronts the past that has been haunting her...
