In a kingdom ruled by dragons, desire is a dangerous game—and no one plays clean. Kaida, heir to the Flame Clan, was born to wear a crown—but only if she agrees to a suitor chosen by the Court. Bound by duty and surrounded by wolves in silk, she’s expected to smile, choose, and obey. But Kaida has never been good at following orders. Not when Lyran, the quiet, watchful soldier she’s trusted for years, looks at her like she’s more than a political prize. Not when Lucan, a dangerously charming stranger exiled from the Frost Clan, arrives at court with secrets and fire of his own. With war on the horizon and her heart pulled in impossible directions, Kaida must navigate a world of lies, alliances, and longing—without losing herself in the flames. When fire meets frost, desire becomes dangerous.
