A single heartbeat ago, Alice Fletcher was a college freshman with a secret locket. Now she’s trapped in Maeloria—a realm of elemental courts, scheming gods, and Brionan O’Driachta, the fire-forged prince who wants her throne as much as he wants her trust.

Allies hide motives behind courtly smiles, and the Veil separating realms grows thinner by the day. If Alice can’t master her power—and outwit Brionan’s dangerous charm—both worlds may burn.
