A princess born of secrets. A prince haunted by prophecy. A kingdom one breath away from collapse.
Fifteen years ago, Queen Abittah died giving birth to her daughter, leaving behind a throne soaked in silence and suspicion. Now, Princess Alissa is a royal burdened by expectations she refuses to accept-and a magic she's been told to hide. She dreams not of marriage or power, but of becoming the first female maester in a kingdom that fears women who think.
Far away, Prince Hosea searches for the truth behind his own shattered bloodline-and the reason his mother and sister vanished without a trace. And in the heart of Valla, Prince Alistair must choose between the kingdom he's sworn to serve and the forbidden love he cannot give up.
As kingdoms prepare for war, buried magic rises, and a prophecy awakens-one that speaks of a girl born of ash, a crown without a king, and a future no one can predict.
Three heirs. One chain of fate. And a throne that demands more than blood.
