A Flame in the Dark

Ember Dragson is the Queen of the Darkness Realm and the last surviving daughter of the fallen Realm of Fire. Raised within the shadowed court since childhood, she has learned to rule with strength, even as fragments of her past slip through her grasp. A mysterious memory loss clouds her mind, leaving her uncertain of what she's forgotten and what truths may be hidden from her.

When Ember witnesses her king's brutal murder and holds him as he dies, the balance of power shatters. In the aftermath, the High Council and Queen Mother move quickly to secure the throne, pressuring Ember into a political marriage within the castle to a man she knows, and cannot stand.

But Ember is no pawn.

As tensions rise and darkness threatens to consume the realm, Ember must decide where her loyalty, and her heart, truly lie. Will she submit to a union that could save her kingdom but break her spirit? Can she stand beside a man who pushes her away at every turn? Or will she defy them all to protect her crown and forge her own fate?

In a world of shifting alliances, buried truths, and dangerous power,

Ember must fight not only for her throne but for herself.
