Set My Heart Ablaze

When the enemy crosses the borders of Verdania, Rhiannon Vellinor, who was known among her people as the Princess of Blaze, is prepared to give her life for the person who never loved her back. But on the day her kingdom falls, she chooses to live. Taken captive by Emperor Cassian Lucius Aelius, the ruthless ruler who forged his power through blood and conquest, Rhiannon is dragged from the ashes of her homeland to the heart of the Aelian Empire in shackles. Yet instead of killing her, the man who destroyed her world spares her for reasons neither of them fully comprehends.  Now, haunted by the weight of her choice and trapped with one of the most dangerous man on the continent, Rhiannon is forced to question everything she once believed about loyalty, hatred, and herself. As the saying goes, sometimes survival is crueller than death. Sometimes, the line between enemy and destiny melts away like fire beneath the snow.
