Laysa was raised in the shadow of dragon attacks, knowing only fire and death. When a dragon spared her life as a child, her king saw an opportunity. She became his weapon—sharpened and reforged to destroy the Fae demons of the neighboring lands and their dragons. Laysa will do whatever it takes to prove she belongs, earn their trust, and fulfill the mission she was raised for: infiltrate their kingdom, assassinate their leaders, and end the war destroying her people.
When she’s captured behind enemy lines, the impossible happens—that same dragon that spared her, now chooses her as its rider. Marked as one of them, Laysa is forced to pose as the lover of an infuriatingly handsome Fae prince, Aiden, to survive, while tying her life to his. Through deadly competitions and ritualistic parties, Laysa’s forced proximity to Aiden does things to her heart. Things she absolutely cannot feel.
Accomplishing her mission may be harder than she expected as she finds herself in a court where most Fae despise humans, where the dragon she was meant to kill insists on bonding with her, and where Aiden keeps getting dangerously close to her secrets. But she refuses to fail her people, even if it means betraying everything she’s ever known and pretending to fall in love with Aiden to gain his trust and secure her freedom.
Ary has spent her life hiding her water abilities—because in the village her orphanage is located, wielders like her are executed. When a cruel man discovers her secret and threatens her life, she escapes, only to be taken to Ascencia Academy, a hidden sanctuary for elemental wielders.
There, Ary learns she doesn’t just wield water—but fire too. In a world where most new wielders command only one element, her rare dual affinity draws dangerous attention and threatens the sanctuary she’s barely begun to call home. Desperate to keep her secret, she finds herself entangled with two mysterious boys, Kaz and Asher, who uncover the truth and claim she’s their true bond—a special connection that ties wielders for life.
They offer her a risky deal: they will keep her secret and train her, so long as she claims them as her bond when the time comes. But with deadly trials ahead and her heart warring with her instincts, Ary must decide if she’ll keep running from her power—or embrace it and risk everything.
