In a quiet village a shifter named Roan watches her world turn to ash when royal dragon shifters raze her home, leaving her the sole survivor. Haunted by loss and fueled by vengeance, Roan embarks on a perilous journey to overthrow the cruel ruler who ordered the attack. With her father’s blade and a map etched in memory, she navigates treacherous lands, gathering fragments of a forgotten rebellion. Along the way, she encounters Kai, a mercenary fox shifter with a sharp wit and a roguish smile. Kai seems to be hiding something behind her easy nature. Though their alliance begins in mistrust, shared scars and a shared mission. Together, they ignite a spark of resistance that could topple a kingdom. But as war looms and betrayal stalks every shadow, Roan must decide how far she's willing to go for justice, and whether love can bloom in the ashes of revenge.
