In the coastal kingdom of Spade, Dominic Fallenhelm lives a quiet life as a fisherman and tavern owner, running The Drifting Sail beside his beloved wife, Mariah. But his peaceful days shatter when he awakens to find a strange, flower-shaped mark burned into his back, and with it, the power to command fire itself.

Haunted by questions he can't escape, Dominic embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind the mark, his forgotten past, and the dark secrets binding him to a mysterious cult. As old memories resurface and family ties unravel, Dominic must confront the flames within before they consume everything he holds dear.

When the Veil between realms was torn apart, the world of Elyndor fell into ruin. The immortal Queen of Ashen Glass rules from her floating court above the clouds, feeding on the magic of lesser beings-humans, vampires, and half-Fae alike. Below, the world rots under her shadow. Rhiannon Vale, a healer hiding among the remnants of humankind, has spent her life concealing a secret that could damn her-the shimmer of Fae blood beneath her skin. But when the Queen's soldiers raze her village and the power she's buried all her life awakens in the flames, Rhiannon is forced to flee into a haunted wilderness where even the trees remember death. In the depths of that forest, she encounters something ancient-a voice that should not exist, bound to her by blood and ruin. Its name is whispered in legends: Aelric Thorne, the fallen vampire fae prince, cursed and forgotten beneath the earth. Though they have not yet met, the bond between them begins to stir, waking old magic that even the Queen once feared. As Rhiannon struggles to survive the wasteland and the hunters closing in, she discovers her power is not a curse but a key-one that could unmake the Queen's dominion or doom what's left of the world. And somewhere in the shadows, Aelric begins to remember the girl who burns like light in his darkness.
