CourtleyGT
Heir to the Tennojin and future head of the great Kurakami clan, Sera has been raised to rule a nation shaped by harmony between humans and Fae. Her bloodline traces back to the age of the great Fae leaders themselves-and within her burns a power thought long lost to legend.
She is the wielder of the Blue Flame.
Even among the mixed-Fae people of her island kingdom, the blue flame is spoken of in hushed reverence-a force of balance, destruction, and truth. It is both her greatest strength and her greatest burden.
But across the sea, in the northern kingdom of her mother's homeland, something has begun to rot beneath silk and stone. Dark magic seeps through the royal court, alliances fray, and war looms dangerously close. When the fragile peace threatens to shatter, Sera is chosen as ambassador-sent to represent her nation's support... and to prepare for the possibility of war.
She does not go alone.
With her travels an elite squad of warriors trained in ancient combat, and at her side stand her two personal guards-childhood friends sworn to protect her with their lives. Yet no amount of training prepares Sera for the politics, prejudice, and quiet cruelty of a court that fears her power... and distrusts her Fae blood.
As tensions rise and hidden enemies move in shadow, Sera begins to feel something else awakening within her-a new kind of spark, one that has nothing to do with flame or war, and everything to do with the man sworn never to leave her side.
Caught between duty and desire, fire and storm, truth and deception, Sera must navigate a court built on secrets-before the darkness consumes both kingdoms.
Because some flames are meant to burn.
And some are meant to reveal.
