In a world torn apart by centuries of enmity between elves and fairies, Brielle and Theon stand on opposite sides of a bloody divide. Brielle, a fierce and powerful fire-wielding fairy, is driven by vengeance and a desire to reclaim what was stolen from her-the wings that made her soar. Theon, an expert elven marksman, is a master of potions and healing, bound by duty to his realm and the dark secret of their shared past that only he remembers. When a chance encounter in the heart of the academy throws them together, their hatred is reignited. Brielle is ruthless, determined to bring down anyone who stands in her way-including the boy she once trusted. Theon, hardened by years of silence and regret, finds himself drawn back to the only person he's ever cared about, despite the war waging between them. As a deadly threat looms over both their worlds, Brielle and Theon must confront the truth hidden in their pasts. But with betrayal lurking around every corner, they must decide whether they can truly trust one another-or if the passion between them will destroy everything they've ever known. In a game of survival where enemies must become allies, only one thing is certain: when fire meets precision, the world will burn. In a deadly game of fire and arrows, only one question remains-can they fight the growing attraction that could be their undoing, or will love spark the ultimate betrayal?
