In the kingdom of Arkan, a fragile alliance between humans and fae teeters on the brink of destruction. Selenia, a fierce and independent thief, has spent her life surviving on the streets, haunted by the memories of her parents' tragic deaths. When she crosses paths with Aldric, a kind-hearted fae blacksmith, a bond forms between them that becomes her anchor in a world of turmoil.
But the fragile peace is shattered when an ancient darkness awakens, and Valarian, a malevolent sorcerer, begins to spread chaos across the realm. Selenia, Aldric, and Thoran, a determined human knight, join forces to stop the impending catastrophe. Along the way, they are joined by Kaspian, a charming and skilled assassin with a mysterious past, and Taryn, a powerful and enigmatic sorceress who holds secrets of her own.
As the group journeys through dangerous lands, Selenia grows closer to Kaspian, finding trust and comfort in his presence. But trust is a fragile thing, and when betrayal strikes from within their ranks, Selenia must confront the truth: the person she trusted the most may be the one who will destroy them all.
In a world where fire, magic, and darkness intertwine, will the ashes of trust lead to redemption-or ruin?
