In a world where half-bloods are cast aside, Varrendale stands as the last refuge for the exiled. Though a pure-blooded elf, Asterin has bound her fate to Varrendale. But an unexpected loss drags her into the very heart of the Grand Elven Kingdom. What begins as a seemingly ordinary theft soon entangles her in a dangerous game of dragons, betrayal and promises. The offer Prince Vaelis places before her is powerful enough to reshape the world and shatter the ruthless order that had endured for centuries. When a dragon is forged into a weapon and a crown raises between fire and ice, Asterin is forced to make a choice. What to expect: A sharp-tongued dragon rider Two princes. Two elements. One throne. Ice vs Fire dynamics Competing love interests Slow-burn enemies-to-lovers Political rebellion Dangerous bargains
