Peace does not shatter quickly-it fractures slowly, then all at once.After a failed assassination exposes a traitor within the crown's own council, the illusion of unity collapses. Old loyalties are tested by fear, secrecy, and the quiet realization that the rules which once governed the realm no longer hold. What was built to endure now trembles under the weight of its own contradictions.As unrest spreads from city to coast, like fire and powder, the lives of a few draw dangerously close to paths that cannot be walked without severe consequence.This is no longer a war of borders or crowns. It is a war for the future. It is a reckoning that will decide not only who reigns, but what kind of world survives in the aftermath.Blood and Fire: Violent Delights continues an epic saga of fragile power, forbidden truths, and inevitable consequence-where love, loyalty, and ambition may be the sparks that burn brightest just before they turn the world to ash.
