Elena has spent her life running from the shadows whispering in her blood. Cursed with a power she never asked for, she hides deep in the forest, desperate to remain unseen. But when Damian a fire-wielding warrior sworn to destroy her kind discovers her, everything begins to unravel. Bound by a dangerous oath of fire and blood, Elena and Damian are thrown together in a world that wants them enemies. His flame was forged to burn her darkness. Her shadows hunger for the fire that keeps her alive. Yet the closer they draw, the more their bond ignites into something neither can resist. But Elena carries a secret no oath can silence. The cult with silver eyes hunts her not to kill, but to crown her. To them, she is their destined queen — the heir to a throne of shadows and blood. And no matter how far she runs, the crown is already reaching for her. As battle lines blur and desire burns hotter, Elena must decide: embrace the shadows calling her name, or fight for the fire that could destroy her. Because in a world where light and dark cannot coexist, loving Damian might be the most dangerous choice of all.
