She watched the world burn.
As auburn flames burned the mountains, and fire eroded the rivers. As blood flooded the battlefield. As people drowned in their own hatred. Except the battlefield was her home, and only her people perished. She watched her people lose a war they never asked for.
All because of her. But she didn't know that yet.
Nikora has secrets she can't handle. A force she can't control.
Licarus has history he can't unlock. A weapon he can't wield.
She needs his weapon, he needs her force.
But some secrets are destined to be untold, some weapons needn't be sharpened.
In their silence, who is the serpent?

Blood Feud: Heart of Flames
Pain! Pain! Excruciating pain! And the agony of betrayal! That's all she felt, that's all she could think of. Her once beautiful and soulful eyes now dead, replaced with tears of blood. Her heart-once warm and beating-cut open, now turned to stone. Her mind, body, and soul had died in the fire which consumed and reshaped her. Her heart bled, her eyes bled, her mouth bled-they all bled blood. Her heart, once betrayed by love, closed off to love with only one feeling keeping it alive: hatred-extreme hatred. Never to love again. Betrayed, stabbed, injured, torn apart-she experienced it all. But... now given a second chance to change everything, she swore to make those who caused her to lose everything burn down with her in her heart of flames. And then he said to her, "You want to burn them all? I'll be the spark to your flames. We will burn them all together in your heart of flames."

As the icy CEO of Blackstone Enterprises, she's built a world where no one gets close - and anyone who tries is crushed. But when threats start slipping past her security, the board sends her a solution she didn't ask for: Cade Wolf. Ex-military. Sharp-eyed. Silent.

But Cade sees what no one else does: the cracks in her armor, the pain she hides, and the war she's waging behind those cold eyes. They're complete opposites - fire and ice, control and chaos. But the danger circling them is personal. It's tied to both their pasts. And the deeper he digs, the closer he gets to the truth... And to her. Enemies are closing in. Secrets are bleeding out. And the one thing Isabella swore she'd never give - is the one thing Cade won't stop taking.
