"It is not the flame's intensity, but whom you burn it for, that matters..."Eira Isolde is one of the nine fae heiresses of The New Reign, burdened by a constant fear of their inexplicable powers. But when she's sent to live in a mortal kingdom because of it, it seems that The Fates have a different plan for her in mind-one that involves fellow heiress Meilin Azelie, a dagger-wielding pianist with whom she is suddenly, and indescribably, consumed by.When a nefarious king reveals the dark web of deceit he has Eira and Meilin ensnared in, the pair find themselves stripped of their powers, forced to become pawns in the Demir Trials; a twisted game pinning them against the rest of The New Reign. The price of victory is a heavy thing, and with nine heiresses fighting for survival, the path to conquest is one carved out in blood. Amidst it all, with their thrones and lives on the line, Eira and Meilin know that one wrong move could see everything they know and love reduced to ash-including one another.
