The past was fire. The present is war.
Eliska Everhart had a love that burned bright-until it was ripped away, leaving her to a fate worse than heartbreak. Now, trapped in a cycle of pain and secrets, she has one last desperate chance to escape... by running straight into the arms of the man who left her behind.
Xael Nov k was once her sanctuary, her Firebird. But twelve years have turned him into something else-something darker, something deadlier. He rules with cold precision, his empire built on power, loyalty, and vengeance. And when Eliska comes crawling back, broken and begging, he knows one thing:
He will save her.
But not before he makes her pay.
In a world of shadows and sin, where love is a weapon and trust is a gamble, can they survive the war ignited by their past-or will they burn each other to the ground?
