Eli was six when the Krev shattered his world. Malek, a winged nightmare with eyes of burning coal, tore him from his healer parents, binding his magic with a golden collar that sears his neck and whispers corruption into his soul. Four years later, he’s a prisoner in Iron Hold—a fortress of shadow and despair—scrubbing pots under the lash of scarred guards. But beneath the binding spell’s icy grip, an ember of defiance burns. A prophecy calls him the “key,” a weapon Malek fears, and Eli will claw his way free to prove it—even if it means facing the monster who stole everything.
