But when the werewolf King Andrew betrays her and allows the sadistic Veil to invade her dreams, everything begins to unravel. Marked from within by Veil's dark hunger, Akisha is torn between desire, duty, and a fire she can no longer control. Enter Rakhmias - the Crown Incarnate. Cold, magnetic, and unknowingly connected to her flame. He awakens something primal in Akisha... and something forbidden. The three of them orbit each other in combat, tension, and unraveling truths - unaware that Veil is tightening his grip. With every dream, Veil grows stronger. With every battle, the past claws its way forward. As kingdoms shift and gods reawaken, Akisha must decide who she truly is: the queen of flame, or the weapon of prophecy.
