In a world torn between the human kingdom and the wild magic of the Fae realms, Astrid is an ex-assassin, haunted by the shadows of her past. After leaving the deadly organization her father controls, Astrid seeks freedom from the life of bloodshed she was forced into. But when her father sells her out to the human king for a mission into the forbidden Fae lands, Astrid finds herself drawn back into a world of secrets, betrayal, and magic.
Captured by Lord Valenor, a ruthless high lord of the Fae, Astrid is forced to confront the truth about her heritage and the deadly power growing within her. As her magic awakens, so too does a dark truth her fate may be tied to the fate of the entire world.
Torn between her loyalty to her father and a mysterious, increasingly dangerous attraction to Lord Valenor, Astrid is thrust into a conflict that could determine the balance of power between humans and Fae. With enemies on every side and her very identity in question, Astrid must navigate treacherous political webs, confront painful truths, and unlock the power of her past all while deciding whether she can trust those who seem determined to control her, or if she will forge her own destiny.
In a land where betrayal is the only constant, freedom may come at the highest cost.

This isn't fucking fair! Father, you have a century's worth of fight left in you." I beat my hands against the bed, and stare at the King. Right in his lightless eyes. He raises his hand and strokes my hair. "The world does not play fair, daughter. The world plays in interest. Pour love into your brother and sister.

Hesperia grew up in the mortal realm, unaware of the power coursing through her veins. But when King Aeric of Valistar takes her to the fae realm of Orebus, everything she thought she knew shatters. Her body betrays her-fevered visions, fire at her fingertips, and the undeniable truth that she is not human. She is something much rarer, much more dangerous. A phoenix. Or so Aeric thought. Orebus is crumbling under a devastating plague, one that is slowly leeching away its magic. Aeric is convinced Hesperia is the key to saving his kingdom, but he refuses to tell her everything. Trapped in a gilded cage, bound by half-truths and unanswered questions, Hesperia is left to choose: trust the ruthless fae king or risk everything to uncover the truth on her own. Eosphoros, the enigmatic and forbidden King of the North-Hesperia, is faced with an even greater dilemma. Aeric has painted him as a villain, but what if he's not? What if he holds the answers she seeks? As tensions rise and desire burns, Hesperia must decide who to believe, who to trust... and who to fight for. But in a world where fire can be tamed, and hearts can be deceived, the greatest danger of all might just be the girl who was never meant to survive.
