In a kingdom shattered by war and treachery, the Queen of Flames claims the throne, wielding power as fiercely as the fire that runs in her veins. But ruling a land that was never hers by birthright demands constant vigilance, and every move she makes must strengthen her hold-or face the relentless threat of rebellion. Surrounded by shifting loyalties and watchful eyes, her ambitions grow, but so does the danger of losing everything she's fought to seize.
Meanwhile, the Prince of Ice-former heir to a dethroned dynasty-burns with a cold resolve to reclaim his birthright. Stripped of family and future, he is driven by vengeance, yet he knows that brute force alone won't topple the queen who stole his crown. To win, he must play her game, mastering politics and deception in a court built on betrayal.
Locked in a relentless struggle of fire and ice, they stand on opposing sides of a conflict where loyalty is scarce, trust is a weapon, and only one will emerge triumphant. In this world of ambition and shattered legacies, who will conquer-and who will burn?
