Embers of the unbroken

Seventeen-year-old Cassandra Everhart has spent three years imprisoned in the Bastille of Lyria, condemned for an uncontrollable power that destroyed her home and family. Wracked with guilt and terrified of the fire she cannot control, she sees no future beyond the cold walls of her cell.

Kethan Madden, a soldier with the cursed ability to destroy everything he touches, is sent on a perilous mission: free Cassandra and use her volatile powers to crush an imminent rebellion. But Cassandra is no ordinary prisoner-she is a dangerous force capable of unraveling the very world Kethan is sworn to protect.

Bound by mistrust and haunted by their own destructive abilities, Cassandra and Kethan are thrust into a fragile alliance. As the flames of rebellion burn hotter, they must confront the growing tension between them. In a world where their powers could obliterate everything-including each other-they face a harrowing choice: harness their connection or succumb to the chaos threatening to consume them both.

But can they trust each other before their secrets tear them apart? Will their powers save the world-or destroy it entirely? And in the end, what will remain when fire and ruin collide?
