Alevia is a young woman who grew up as a maid in Emperor Varek's palace. Unaware of her true identity, she awakens each night to dreams of winged creatures and a burning throne. One day, in the palace's secret library, she discovers she possesses an unproven power — flames can shoot from her hands. This discovery draws her into the Empire's darkest secrets.
Within the walls of that same palace lives Prince Kael, the Emperor's heir and possessing a secret dragon's bloodline. Kael is a prince oppressed under his father's rule, fighting not for the throne but for justice. When he meets Alevia, he immediately senses the hidden power within her, and a bond both dangerous and passionate forms between them.
Emperor Varek uses dark magic to prevent his son from ascending to the throne. When Alevia's true identity is revealed—she is the secret daughter of the last queen to carry dragon blood—a battle for the imperial throne begins. Alevia must discover her own strength, learn about her past, and protect both her heart and the throne. Their love becomes a beacon of hope amidst the war, as they both fight against the clutches of their destiny.
