Crown of Ash and Bonds: The Rise of the Flamebearer

I was the perfect noble wife... until my husband burned me at the stake.
My smile was sculpted to please. Obedience stitched into every breath. I thought it would protect me.
It didn't.
They called me traitor. My husband watched me burn. My cousin cried for the crowd, then smiled as flames devoured my gown.
No one knew about the baby. His heir.
Our secret died with me.
But death didn't stick.

I woke months before the pyre... hurting, alone, and clutching the truth like a dagger:
They stole my child.
My title.
My life.
Now I wear silk like armor. My smile cuts deeper than any blade. I will unmake their empire, one lie at a time.
And then there's him.
Duke Caelan Vorenthal. The Wolf of the North. My husband's rival. A storm wrapped in silk and steel.
He watches me... not like I'm broken, but like I'm dangerous. Like he wants to burn alongside me.
He should be my enemy.
So why does he see the fire in me... and smile?

They think I'm still the girl they sacrificed.
They're wrong.
I am Seraphina D'Lorien.
Heiress of ashes.
Bringer of storms.
And I choose who burns next.

A betrayed noblewoman reborn
A slow-burn romance with claws
And revenge that's hotter than forgiveness
