In the quiet, tightly-controlled town of Cinderbrook, everyone knows their place. For Ember, that meant a future groomed at the elite Willowcrest Institution-until the night the town guards turned on her family. Ember should have died in the flames of her burning home, but she was saved by the unthinkable: a Teräs, the monstrous creature of legend her entire world was taught to fear. Now a fugitive, Ember must rely on the terrifying beast to navigate the ruins of her life and the deceptive society that created them both. The totalitarian regime is closing in, offering her the one thing she craves-safety and a return to the comfort of control-if only she will betray her unlikely ally. To survive, Ember must choose a side, facing down the very powers that once protected her. The world believes Cinderbrook's lies. But when the embers of rebellion begin to glow, will Ember find the courage to turn the truth into an inferno?

I died and woke up as Cryselle Argentum, a princess whose fate I already knew too well. This world was not unfamiliar to me. It was the setting of a novel I had once read, a tragic story where a neglected child grows into a misunderstood scholar and meets her end at the hands of her own father. Knowing that future, I resolved to survive by doing the opposite of what the story demanded. I would stay quiet, stay small, and stay out of sight. But the world did not allow me to remain unseen. I met Silas Argentum, my father, far earlier than I was ever meant to, and every interaction felt like walking on thin ice. Was he dangerous? Yes. Was he cruel? Perhaps. But he was also attentive in ways the novel never described. So tell me, if fate has already been written, what happens when the person meant to die decides to rewrite the story herself?
