In the magical kingdom of Aeloria, where faeries rule under shimmering skies, Princess Iridessa Blondeau was once the symbol of purity and light. Born with golden wings and a kind heart, she dreamed of uniting the realms through love. But her first life ended in betrayal. Married to River Fros, the charming Duke of Frostvale, Iridessa believed she had found her happily ever after-until he cheated, stole her crown, and murdered her to seize power.
Death, however, was not the end.
Reborn by divine will, Iridessa awakens with the memories of her past life burning within her. No longer the naïve princess who sought peace, she becomes the villain her story needs. To save her kingdom and herself, she chooses a path no fae dared walk-an alliance with their sworn enemies, the Hybrid Orcs.
Their king, Ambrose Morningstar, is feared across realms-half-beast, half-god, and entirely ruthless. His strength is unmatched, his kingdom built on blood and defiance. Yet Iridessa sees in him something more: a chance to rewrite fate. She offers him her hand in marriage, forging a union of shadow and light to bring down River Fros and reclaim Aeloria's throne.
As Iridessa and Ambrose unite through vengeance, their bond deepens into something neither expected. Amid war and deception, love begins to bloom-a dangerous, consuming fire that could save or destroy them both.
But River, now king and consumed by madness, will not rest until he owns what he lost.
In this tale of rebirth, vengeance, and forbidden love, a faerie princess must embrace her darkness to protect the light she once failed to save.
