For a million years, she was the last Phoenix. Nine lives. Nine deaths. Nine attempts to save existence through overwhelming power, and nine failures that taught her nothing except how to destroy more efficiently. Her tenth life broke the cycle. Scarlett Veld wakes up in a human body with no fire, no wings, and no strength, just a mind carrying a million years of memory and a five-year-old's useless hands. The village calls her Crimson Eye, for the faint red her stare carries when she's thinking the way children shouldn't be able to think. Her parents call her a miracle they don't fully understand. The Crown is about to call her an asset. Armed with nothing but tactics, memory, and a will that has never once known how to quit, Scarlett claws her way through academies built for children twice her age, survives a noble's slow-burn revenge, and uncovers a conspiracy that reaches all the way to the throne itself, all while hiding the one truth that could get her locked away forever: something ancient is waking up inside her, and she has no idea how to control it before it controls her. She has one chance to become something no Phoenix has ever been. Not a destroyer. A creator. If the throne circling her doesn't claim her first.
