Some bloodlines are meant to stay buried.
In a world ruled by dominance, her power makes her prey.
On her eighteenth birthday, Rose's magic doesn't awaken gently. It detonates.
Fire coils at her fingertips. Frost answers her pulse. Shadows bend. Storms rise when her heart fractures. And the nobles of Noble Blackwood Academy whisper a single word when they see her unravel their ancient wards-
Anomaly.
Dragged from the only life she's ever known and thrown into a brutal hierarchy of rival supernatural courts, Rose becomes something far more dangerous than a student.
She becomes leverage.
Mateo-the wolf who has guarded her since childhood-would tear apart kingdoms to keep her safe, even if she doesn't yet understand the depth of what ties them together.
Dominic Thorne, her dangerously controlled combat instructor, binds his blood to hers in a forbidden act that is as intimate as it is catastrophic.
Lucian, heir to the Vampire Court, watches her like a prince learning the shape of the crown he will one day wear-and the girl he might claim beside it.
And Asher-the phoenix whose flames mirror her own-becomes the only place her chaos quiets, the only touch that feels like warmth instead of war.
But power this rare is never admired.
It is hunted.
Measured.
Possessed.
When the Vampire King steps from the shadows and issues an ultimatum that could ignite war between courts, Rose realizes the most terrifying truth of all-

She is changing it.
And in a game ruled by blood, politics, and desire...
Her choice will decide who kneels.
And who burns
