Publisher's Synopsis
The past was fire. The present is war.
Eliska Everhart had a love that burned bright-until it was ripped away, leaving her to a fate worse than heartbreak. Now, trapped in a cycle of pain and secrets, she has one last desperate chance to escape... by running straight into the arms of the man who left her behind.
Xael Novák was once her sanctuary, her Firebird. But twelve years have turned him into something else-something darker, something deadlier. He rules with cold precision, his empire built on power, loyalty, and vengeance. And when Eliska comes crawling back, broken and begging, he knows one thing:
He will save her.
But not before he makes her pay.
In a world of shadows and sin, where love is a weapon and trust is a gamble, can they survive the war ignited by their past-or will they burn each other to the ground?
