She’s the lost heir of a broken kingdom. He’s the cursed guardian sent to bring her home. Neither of them is ready for what follows. Hidden in a crumbling realm far from her own, Enna has spent fifteen years keeping her identity secret, her magic unstable, and her past buried. But in Eldoria—the kingdom she fled—centuries have passed. The land is withering, its magic fading, and whispers stir of a lost queen whose return could restore it all. When Jasper Kaelith tracks her down, Enna assumes the worst. But Jasper isn’t what he seems. Cursed by an ancient oath and haunted by the failures of his bloodline, he believes returning the lost heir is the only way to break the chain that binds him. What he doesn’t expect is the fire she stokes in him—or the way her magic calls to his own. Forced to travel together across a fractured kingdom, tension crackles between them like lightning in a storm. He’s sworn to protect her. She’s sworn to hate him. But something ancient stirs between them… something powerful, consuming, and dangerously beyond their control. She challenges everything he’s sworn to uphold. He ignites everything she’s tried to bury. And when magic begins to pulse between them, neither of them is prepared for the consequences. As secrets unravel and enemies close in, Enna and Jasper must navigate ancient legacies, dangerous attraction, and a bond written in blood and magic. Because the fate of Eldoria doesn’t just rest on the return of its queen—it depends on a truth neither of them is ready to face.
