Freedom was the goal. Falling on an elf was just a side quest. Princess Esther Valedara didn’t mean to set her life (or half a forest) on fire. But when her “escape for freedom” spell drops her face-first into a band of adventurers—featuring one brooding elf, one chaotic half-elf, and one too-proud orc—her royal problems get a lot messier. Between explosive magic, tavern brawls, and far too many feelings, Esther might accidentally find what she’s always been denied: friendship, freedom, and a dangerously attractive elf who fans her flames. It turns out freedom isn’t as simple as running away from the crown— it’s surviving your own heart… preferably without setting everything on fire.
