Anya's life was destroyed by one tragic night. Accused of poisoning her own parents, she was punished by having her elemental power sealed away, cutting her off from the dragon within her. Now, at twenty-two, she lives as little more than a servant in the very Rookery that once called her home, forced to endure the cruelty of her brother, Lord Titus, and the man who was once her bond. Then Lord Valerius arrives. Ruler of the Obsidian Crown, Valerius is a ruthless High-Lord whose crimson eyes and terrifying power command fear across every realm. He has come to Anya's mountain stronghold to secure an alliance. He never expected to notice her. Anya is quiet, powerless, and treated like dirt by her own family. Yet something about her strange, muted aura catches Valerius's attention. The more he watches her, the more he realizes that the story behind her parents' deaths may be nothing but a carefully constructed lie. Taking Anya under his protection was never part of his plan. But once Valerius claims her, he refuses to give her back. As Anya's quiet resilience begins to challenge the High-Lord's cold authority, the secrets buried within her ancestral Rookery threaten to surface. Her brother will do anything to keep the truth hidden—even if it means starting a war.
