Fire in her veins. Ready to ignite a kingdom.

Monroe Benson was born with fire at her fingertips—a deadly secret in Erydia’s brutal world. But when Queen Viera summons ten goddess-touched girls for the Culling—a ruthless battle for the crown—Monroe can’t stay hidden any longer. Torn from her home, she must fight for a throne she’s never wanted, against rivals with deadly powers of their own.

Born to rule. Bound by fate.

Prince Cohen is trapped by destiny: as heir to the throne, his life is shaped by ancient traditions—and shadowed by secrets. Poisoned, his sister missing, Cohen must obey the deadly rules of the Culling and choose a wife from among the fighters, even as rebellion smolders across the kingdom.

One spark can set everything ablaze.

Monroe sees past Cohen’s crown and cold facade—to the boy desperate for freedom. Cohen sees Monroe’s courage behind her power. But as betrayal blazes and loyalty is tested, they’ll have to choose: duty or desire, survival or sacrifice. Together, Monroe and Cohen could save Erydia’s future—or set the world on fire.

Fans of 'Powerless' and 'The Hunger Games' universe will love this action-packed dystopian romantasy.
