He was the sword that ended her. Now he’s the flame that might save her.

Aurelia Fenwyn has always felt the fire beneath her skin—wild dreams, ancient voices, and a dragon’s call thrumming through her bones. On the eve of her twenty-first birthday, a forgotten mark begins to burn, and the quiet village of Velmira starts to crack open with secrets long buried.

When a stranger arrives—dark-eyed, sharp-tongued, and far too familiar—Aurelia is drawn to him in ways she can’t explain. Ash carries shadows like scars, and his every glance feels like a memory half-remembered. But there’s something he isn’t telling her. Something she once died for.

As dragons rise and the Order hunts what remains of the Bloodbound, Aurelia and Ash must unravel the truth of who they were… and what they still are. Bound by fate. Haunted by lifetimes. Caught between love and ruin.

In a world on the edge of war, where magic sings in forgotten tongues and sacrifice tastes like ash, one truth remains:

Love always remembers.

And fire never forgets.
