Ataraxis

On the war-torn planet of Ataraxis, blood is currency and purity is law. The Kingdom of Avanri has burned for centuries in a war of supremacy, where "shades"(mixed-blood beings) are hunted, and only the purest elves are deemed worthy of the throne.

Princess Xandria Fyresbjorn has never fit their mold. She carries the rarest legacy of all: dragon's blood and phoenix ash. Warrior. Heir. Rebel. And bonded to the most feared creature in existence - a black dragon with eyes of burning ice.

But when her parents fall to ash, Xandria is thrust into the deadly Trials of Ascension: four merciless tests of body, mind, soul, and leadership. Her rivals? Cousins who would see her chained, broken, or dead...including the cruel, supremacist heir who covets not only her throne, but the only person she has ever loved.

Aurelia Valesk, gentle healer and keeper of Avanri's sanctuary, is Xandria's best friend, her secret anchor, her forbidden daylight. Their love is a crime. Their bond, a weapon. And in the halls of a kingdom ruled by purists, desire itself could get them both executed.

As enemies gather and the phoenix council demands blood, Xandria must choose:
🔥 Protect the woman who holds her heart.
🔥 Claim the throne forged in her family's ashes.
🔥 Or unleash the inferno inside her and raze the world that seeks to cage her.

Dragons. Phoenix fire. A sapphic, slow-burn romance that scorches into obsession.
