This novel is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers, exploring the journey of Elirien Aesatra, a fiery half-elf wielder, who is thrust into the treacherous world of the Elven King-a man as cruel as he is captivating. In a realm where magic wielders are seen as threats to the crown, Elirien is captured and imprisoned within the palace walls, bound by the king's will. Forced to navigate a perilous game of power, secrets, and survival, she must find a way to endure his manipulations while hiding her growing desire for freedom-and the dangerous man who holds her captive. But as the line between hatred and something far more volatile begins to blur, Elirien discovers the greatest battle lies within herself: her fight to protect her heart, her magic, and the found family she left behind.
