In a Kingdom gilded in sapphire and secrets, Princess Keira Gravemore stands on the edge of a life she never asked for. Trapped within the cage that is her Kingdom-Aetheris, she is a royal in name but a pawn in truth-chained by duty, haunted by a magic that refuses to bloom, and promised to a future she doesn't want.With her mother-the formidable Queen Isolde-holding the strings of power and prophecy, Keira begins to pull at the threads, desperate to unravel her fate before it consumes her.Sent to the enemy Kingdom, Keira finds herself in a world of black marble and colder truths, where masks hide more than just faces, and every word drips with double meaning. Here, she is surrounded by rival Princesses fighting for the same crown-and the same prince. But Keira isn't here to marry. She's here to survive, to reclaim her power, and to discover the truth of what she is.Whispers follow her-whispers of ancient magic that runs in her blood, and of an Enchantress deep within the Hollows who speaks in riddles and prophecy. When Keira crosses that boundary, she is marked. Changed. Awakened.Now, she burns from the inside out. Because there is a prophecy. Because her magic is not gone.Because a Reckless Hate brews in her chest... and it's about to ignite the world.
