A kingdom built on fire cannot escape the ashes.
The witch hunts have torn Burasal apart. Villages burn, magic is hunted without mercy, and the truth behind the fire that changed the kingdom refuses to stay buried.
Nelda Graewyth has spent her life running from what she is. Now there is nowhere left to run.
Across the kingdom, old loyalties fracture, and forbidden magic awakens. And those who once hunted witches discover some powers cannot be controlled.
As the past finally rises from the ashes, the fate of the crown, the witches, and the kingdom itself will be decided.
Some fires destroy.
Others forge something new.
And before the ashes settle, a queen will rise.
