I am Iszaelda, a sun elf without magic, a disgrace to my people. When the ruthless star elf king, Akares Dorne, burns my village to the ground, slaughters my family, and steals my sister, my path is forged in the fire of vengeance.

My quest leads me to a shadowy academy that promises to turn my rage into a blade. But to earn my place, I must submit to a master.

He is everything I should despise. Yet with every clash of our swords and every scorching touch, the line between hatred and desire blurs into a dangerous haze.

He’s turning me into the perfect killer, the one soul in the world who might be able to face Akares. But my master is a man of devastating secrets, and the truth of his past could not only shatter my mission—it could destroy what’s left of my heart.
