In a kingdom on the brink of ruin, young Princess Sophia faces betrayal at every turn—from her own family to the dark-eyed warlords who seek to claim her throne. When Rezden, a cunning warlord in a silver mask, offers her a terrible choice—rule by his side or watch her city fall—Sophia must navigate a world of treachery, shadows, and ancient prophecies. But secrets swirl beneath the surface: a stolen artifact known as the Malzak, a brother’s bitter rivalry, and a legacy of betrayal that could ignite a war between kingdoms. As her world burns, Sophia must rise from the ashes—or be consumed by them.
