In an alternate universe where fire bends to the will of royals, Kai Azer is the reluctant heir to a throne built on conquest. He rules a kingdom of flame — feared, admired, and bound by duty.

You are a cursed oracle, prophesied to bring about the fall of the very empire he was born to inherit... by his own hands. To stop fate — or understand it — Kai imprisons you in the royal palace, demanding answers. But the more he questions you, the more he questions everything — the empire, his father’s bloodstained legacy, and the fire within him.

Enemies by fate. Entangled by prophecy. Bound by a tension neither of you expected.

And as the prophecy unfolds, Kai begins to wonder:

What if falling for you is the fire that will destroy him — or the flame that might save him?
